Appendix A: Console Mode

When you forget the system password or the IP address for the Barricade, you need to enter the console mode to reset them.

Before invoking the console program, be sure to find a null modem cable and use it to connect from the Barricade’s COM port to your computer’s COM port. Then, execute a terminal program, such as the Hyper Terminal of MS Windows 95. The connection parameters should be set to 19200 8-N-1. Be sure to reboot the Barricade. When the M1 indicator starts flashing regularly, you can press the “Enter” key several times. There should be some messages, and console prompt ">" appears in the terminal.

In the console mode, you may reset the IP address and the system password of the Barricade. Please remember to execute the SR command to save the changes you have made. For example,

IP 192.168.123.254
