3: Getting Started

3.Continue with step 4 in 5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).

Assigning the IP Address: Serial Port Login

To assign the IP address and other network settings using a serial connection:

1.Connect a console terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the unit's serial port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

2.To enter Setup Mode, cycle the unit's power (power off and back on). After power-up, the self-test begins and the red Diagnostic LED starts blinking. You have one second to enter three lowercase x characters.

Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at the terminal (or emulation) while powering up the unit.

3.Select 0 (Server Configuration) and follow the prompts until you get to IP address.

4.Enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if applicable).

5.Do one of the following:

Continue with 5: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).

Select 9 to save and exit Setup Mode. The unit performs a power reset.
