4 Configuring networking

The network interface of the CMG-CD24-R8 is implemented using an

embedded Lantronix WiPort-NR module. This module can be
configured using a built-in Web server.

Before you can access the Web server, however, you will need to

assign the device an IP address. This can be done using Lantronix'
DeviceInstaller utility for Microsoft Windows, or using a DHCP server.
You will need a PC with a network interface installed.

4.0.1 Using DeviceInstaller

1. Download and install the DeviceInstaller utility from the

Lantronix Web site at http://www.lantronix.com/

2. DeviceInstaller also requires the Microsoft .NET framework to

be installed. If you do not have this already, it can be

downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/

3. Find out the MAC address of the CD24-R8's network interface.

This should be printed on a label on the case.

4. If the DATA or USB ports on the rear of the CD24-R8 are

connected to anything, disconnect them. The network interface
is disabled if a serial connection is detected on either of these

ports.

5. Connect the CD24-R8's ETHERNET port to the the PC's network

interface, either using a crossover Ethernet cable or through a

network switch or hub. Using a network switch or hub, you can
connect several CD24-R8s to the same PC and configure them

all at the same time.

DeviceInstaller will not work through routers or across the

Internet. All the devices need to be on the same network
segment as the PC.

6. Run DeviceInstaller.

DeviceInstaller's main window has two panels, a tree on the left

(with Lantronix Devices at the top) and a table on the right.

The program will automatically look for Lantronix devices on
all of your computer's network interfaces. If necessary, you can
