Chapter 5: Configuring System Settings

You can change the Admin IP Address for the 600F and 700F by physically connecting to the RS-232 MGMT port.

RS-232 MGMT Port

The RS-232 MGMT Port allows access to several parameters such as the LAN IP settings, Admin IP Address, and modem reset.

These parameters can be vital to the operation of the modem. You should password protect the RS-232 MGMT port:

1Access the console prompt by ““Using the RS-232 Management Port” on page 80”

2At the main menu, enter 6.

3At the Enter Choice prompt, enter the password for RS-232 port access. If one has not been previously configured, press Enter without entering a password.

4When a “Please enter the new password:” message appears, type in the new password.

5When a “Please retype the new password:” message appears, retype the new password.

6When the “Password accepted” message appears, you have changed the password successfully.
