Assigning IP Information to FiberLinX

Using DB-9 Serial Port

The serial port uses an IBM-compatible DB-9 serial connector. To connect the device to your terminal/computer, use a DB 9-pin male/female null modem cable. (If your computer/terminal has a serial port using a connection not compatible with a DB-9 COM port, use the Pin Connection table below for reference in making a cable.) Make sure the cable length is under 50 ft. (15.24m). Plug one end of the cable into the DB-9 connector

on the device, and the other into
the appropriate port on your		D B - 9 P I N	C O N N E C T I O N C H A R T

•IP Address (must be assigned during initial configuration)

•Subnet Mask (must be assigned during initial configuration)

•Default Gateway

Current Values — displays values currently in use.

•IP Address (IP address of SNMP agent)

•Subnet Mask (mask to define IP subnet agent is connected to)

•Default Gateway (default router for IP traffic outside subnet)
