VESP211 Serial Server Configuration Connections

VESP211 Serial Servers can be configured using several methods:

Via the network using Vlinx Manager software

Via the network using a web browser

Via the serial port using Vlinx Manager software (Console Mode)

Configuring via the Network using Vlinx Manager

VESP211 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 whether you know its IP address or not. Once the serial server has
been detected, the Manager can be used to configure 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

Network Setup

Configuring via the network using a Browser

VESP211 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 DHCP assignment is not available it will
default to 169.254.102.39
