Configuring Multiple RocketLinx Switches Network Addresses

You can configure the network addresses for multiple ES8508 switches using the Assign IP to Multiple Devices
option.

In addition, you can also configure common settings for the ES8508 web page and save the settings to a
configuration file that you can load to all or selected ES8508 switches. See

Using Configuration Files

on Page

29 for more information.

You can use this procedure if your ES8508 is connected to the host PC, laptop, or if the ES8508 resides on the
local network segment. Use the following steps to configure multiple ES8508 switches.

1.

Shift-click the ES8508 switches for which you want to
program network information, right-click, and click
Advanced > Assign IP to Multiple Devices.

2.

Enter the starting IP address, subnet mask, IP Gateway
and click Proceed.

PortVision DX displays the programmed IP addresses in
the Device List pane after the next refresh cycle.
