Introduction
Use this Getting Started guide as a reference to install and configure your XPort AR. It
will step you through hardware installation and configuration.
The XPort AR requires an IP address for network communications.
There are three
methods to assign the IP address:
1.
DHCP: When connected to a DHCP-enabled network, XPort AR obtains an IP
address automatically.
By default, the XPort AR is DHCP-enabled.
2.
CLI: The IP address is configurable through the XPort AR’s Command Line Interface
(CLI) using a DB9 null modem serial cable.
This cable is provided with the XPort AR
evaluation kit.
3.
DeviceInstaller: This utility allows you to search for the device and change the IP
address to a static address (if required).
DeviceInstaller is located on the XPort AR
product CD.
Use option #2 when DHCP is not enabled on your network or if you are not connected to
a network.
Setting the IP Address

For detailed video instructions, refer to the XPort AR product CD.
It
contains a video tutorial
with step-by-step instructions to configure the IP
address using option #3 (through the CLI using a serial cable).
IP Address
The XPort-AR must have an IP address that is unique on your network. The systems
