Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable

Configuring the SVxx41HDIE using a serial cable is the best choice if you need to pre- configure the unit before attaching it to a network, i.e. when sending to a branch office, customer site, etc. In general, the Web configuration is preferable because of its intuitive interface and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical proximity to perform the configuration. However, if you wish to use the serial cable method to configure the SVxx41HDIE, you can use any typical communication software package (UNIX: tip, cu, kermit, minicom; Windows: HyperTerminal, kermit).

You can use the serial port on the SVxx41HDIE to access the terminal configuration tool; to do so, you will require a null modem serial cable. Connect a female end of a serial cable to the serial port used for serial access on the host computer. Connect the opposite end to the SVxx41HDIE. Configure the terminal software with “8N1” settings:

Connection speed: 115200 bps

No. of bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Sample HyperTerminal configuration

Using the Web Interface

The Web interface is the most intuitive way to configure the SVxx41HDIE. Offering a Java-based VNC client that can be used to control the host computer from a remote location, as well as support for any industry-standard HTML Web browser. You can access the Web interface by opening your Web browser and entering the IP address of the SVxx41HDIE you wish to access/configure. The IP address will be either a) the address assigned by your DHCP server as identified in the previous section, or b) 192.168.1.123 if your network uses static IP addressing.
