4.3 Managing an IP address of the HelloDevice

Now we have the HelloDevice physically connected the network and the HelloDevice Utility Software

installed on your PC, We will go through the rest of the setup process with the HelloDevice Utility

Software in the following order:

1. Assign an IP address of the HelloDevice

2. Set password

3. Set network Mode parameters

4. Set serial parameter

In this section, we will describe how to assign and change an IP address of the HelloDevice, and in the

next section, how to set password and parameters.

4.3.1 Assigning an IP Address

Since HD132x Series has the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) client function, an IP

address of the HelloDevice can be assigned with either the HelloDevice Utility Software or any DHCP

server in your network. This is based on DHCP (RFC2131) Internet protocol standards. The factory

default IP address of HelloDevice is initially set to 0.0.0.0. When the HelloDevice is powered on, the

Tx LED of the HelloDevice blinks periodically. That means it requests of an assignment of an IP

address.

4.3.1.1 Assigning an IP address from your existing DHCP Server

When you want to assign an IP address of the HelloDevice from your existing DHCP server, the IP

address will be automatically assigned from the DHCP server as soon as you turn on the power of the

HelloDevice. If Tx LED stops blinking, it means that an IP address has been normally assigned.

4.3.1.2 Assigning an IP address from DHCP Server in the HelloDevice Utility Software

Since the HelloDevice Utility Software supports DHCP server function, it responds to DHCP request of

the HelloDevice. The IP address of the HelloDevice is managed by DHCP database in the HelloDevice

Utility Software, and you need to enter the MAC

address and IP address to DHCP database. MAC

MAC (Media Access Control) address is total 6 bytes with 3 bytes of organization code and 3 bytes

of product code, respectively. MAC address of the HelloDevice is composed of 00-01-95, which is a
company code, and xx-xx-xx, which is a product code. E.g. 00-01-95-01-aa-08, 00-01-95-01-02-01
