Configure an IP address using DHCP
Configure an IP address using Auto-IP
Default IP address and methods for assigning an IP address
All products that have a cellular (WAN) interface ship with static IP address for the Ethernet port
of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP server enabled by default. Therefore, simply connecting a laptop
computer to the Ethernet port of these products allows direct access to the web interface for
configuration.The Ethernet port of the laptop should be configured to automatically receive an IP
address and DNS server address.
All products that only have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi (LAN) interface ship with DHCP client enabled
by default. Accessing the web interface on these products is most easily done by connecting it to a
LAN that has a DHCP server.
To discover which IP address has been assigned to the device, use the Device Discovery Utility for
Windows, available on the Digi Support site. See installation instructions on page 58.
There are several ways to assign an IP address to a Digi device, described on the following pages:



An IP address can also be configured using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP
is an Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can
be used to automatically assign IP addresses and deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters.
As mentioned previously, all products that have a cellular (WAN) interface ship with static IP
address for the Ethernet port of 192.168.1.1 and DHCP server enabled by default. All products that
only have an Ethernet or Wi-Fi (LAN) interface ship with DHCP client enabled by default.
If desired, set up a permanent entry for the Digi device device on a DHCP server. While this is not
necessary to obtain an IP address via DHCP, setting up a permanent entry means the IP address is
saved when the device is rebooted.
For more information on DHCP server configuration, see "DHCP server settings" on page 71.
The standard protocol Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA or Auto-IP) automatically assigns
the IP address from a group of reserved IP addresses to the device on which Auto-IP is installed.
Use Digi Device Discovery or DHCP to find the Digi device and assign it a new IP address that is
compatible with your network. Once the unit is plugged in, Auto-IP automatically assigns the IP
address. Auto-IP addresses are typically in the 169.254.x.x address range.
Use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from the web interface.
Use the command-line interface.
Use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP.
