VESR4x4 Serial Server Configuration
VESR4x4 Serial Servers can be configured using several methods:
 Via the network using Vlinx Manager Software
 Via the network using a web browser
 Via a serial port using Vlinx Manager Software (Console Mode)
Configuring via the Network using Vlinx Manager
VESR4x4 Serial Servers can be configured over the network using Vlinx
Manager Software running on a networked PC. Vlinx Manager includes a
discovery function that makes it possible to detect the serial server on the
network if you do not know its IP address. Once the serial server has been
detected, the Vlinx Manager Software can be used to change its settings.
Note: For more information on how to use Vlinx Manager to configure your serial server, refer to Section 4:
Configuring the Serial Server

Configuring via the network using a Browser
VESR4x4 Serial Servers can also be configured over the network using a
standard internet browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox running on a
networked PC. To do so you must know the IP address of the serial server.
Your serial server comes from the factory pre-configured to receive an IP
address from a DHCP Server. If a DHCP server is not available, it will default
to 169.254.102.39.
