PROGRAMMING THE IP ADDRESS
Configure the IP address using one of the following methods:
• PortVision DX (available on the RocketLinx CD shipped with the product
• Web browser
• Telnet
• Command line interface (CLI) using the RS-232 console cable
The easiest way to configure a static IP address for your network in the
ES9528 is to use a Windows host and PortVision DX (see below). For
information about using other configuration methods, refer to the RocketLinx
ES9528/ES9528-XT User Guide.
Note: Optionally, you can use NetVision if you are accustomed to using
NetVision. PortVision DX replaces NetVision. NetVision is not documented in
the RocketLinx ES9528/ES9528-XT User Guide.
The following procedure uses PortVision DX to program network settings.
1. Install PortVision DX on a host system with a Windows operating system.
If you need assistance installing PortVision DX, see the RocketLinx
