Step 3: Connect to site network using an Ethernet LAN
This section explains how to connect to a site network using an Ethernet cable.
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your site network.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the Connect EZ. By
default a DHCP request will be sent to the local Ethernet network.
Note If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you can connect locally over 192.168.210.1.
See Using the local web interface.

Step 4: Discover the IPaddress using the Digi Navigator
You can use the Digi Navigator to quickly discover the IP address for the Connect EZ.
Note If you don't have access to the Digi Navigator, you can use a manual method to discover the
IPaddress. See Discover the device'sIPaddress: Additional methods.
1. To ensure that your computer and device are connected to each other and your local network,
make the following connections:
nConnect the device to your computer with an Ethernet cable.
nConnect the device to your local network with an Ethernet cable.
nConnect your computer to your local network with an Ethernet cable.
2. Download and install the Digi Navigator.

4. The tool discovers the Connect EZ devices that are powered on and connected to your
network. When the process is complete, a list of the devices appears.
nConnected to a network: By default, the HTTPS service is enabled and used to find an
IP address for the Connect EZ. Other services can be enabled if needed from the Filters
section. See Services used to discover a device when connected to a network.
nConnected directly to a device or on a network with no DHCP server: In either of
these situations, a default IPaddress is assigned to the device. You can specify the
filters used to assign an IPaddress. See Use the autodiscovery protocol to discover a
device and Assign a generic IP address to the device.
5. Expand a device to display the IPaddress.
