I’m trying to use dgipserv to set the IP address for a PortServer TS MEI (4 port). The dgipserv utility that runs on Windows insists that the MAC address begin with 00:A0:E7 My unit has a MAC that begins with 00:40:9D Is there a version of this program that run on XP that has the first part of the MAC unlocked so I can change it? OS: Windows ---

The DgIpServ utility was designed to work with the Etherlite product. For setting the IP address on a PortServer TS, you will want to use either the Digi Discovery Tool, or you can set the IP address through a serial port, using the command line. I have provided a link to the Digi Discovery Tool below: ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/utilities/40002256\_F.exe ---
