Click Start\Programs\B&B Electronics\Vlinx\ESP

Servers\Vlinx ESP Manager and it should auto-search for
attached ESP901/902/904 or ESR901/902/904 devices on
startup.

Note that the device must reside on the same subnet or

it won’t be seen by the Vlinx ESP Manager software for
first time discovery.

Use the Vlinx ESP Manager software to configure the

unit for network information, serial device configurations,
timeouts, etc (double-click on your device in the list).

Alternative method is to set the dipswitches in console

mode and use Hyperterminal set at 9600 and 8-N-1. Use
the arrow and key to configure (requires null
modem/cross-over serial cable connected to Port 1). Be
sure to set dipswitches back to run mode when done. (Not
avail. on ESP904).

Default password =

Reboot as necessary.
