3. Use the gateway's chassis reset button to physically reset the gateway, causing it to use
BootP; the gateway changes its network parameters to the values provided by BootP.
3.2.2 Assigning an IP Address Using CLI via RS-232
You can assign an IP address to the gateway using CLI by establishing a serial connection
between your PC and the gateway.

¾ To assign an IP address using CLI via RS-232, take these 5 steps:

1. Connect the gateway's RS-232 port (labeled RS-232), located on the rear panel, to your PC.
2. Use serial communication software (e.g., HyperTerminalTM) to connect to the gateway. Set
your serial communication software to the following communications port settings: Baud
Rate: 115,200 bps; Data bits: 8; Parity: None; Stop bits: 1; Flow control: None.
3. At the CLI prompt, type conf, and then press <Enter>; the configuration folder is accessed.
4. To check the current network parameters, at the prompt, type GCP IP, and then press
<Enter>; the current network settings are displayed.
5. Change the network settings by typing the following:
SCP IP [ip_address] [subnet_mask] [default_gateway]
(e.g., SCP IP 10.13.77.7 255.255.0.0 10.13.0.1)
Note: This command requires you to enter all three network parameters (each separated by
a space).
The new settings take effect on-the-fly and connectivity is active at the new IP address. To save
the configuration, at the prompt, type SAR, and then press <Enter>; the gateway restarts with the
new network settings.
