expressed in the quad octet format (i.e. 192.168.3.1.). However, it is advisable not to make them the same as the real IP addresses used by either the remote system or the MC5.

Baud Rate

This option configures the speed of the serial connection between the MC5- IP and a connected modem or ISDN terminal adapter. The default setting is 115200. The other communication settings are fixed as: No parity, 8 bit word, 1 stop bit.

Init String

The codes entered here are used to prepare the connected modem or ISDN terminal adapter for use with the MC5-IP. The default code is a Hayes- compatible string to configure auto answer mode and would be understood by the vast majority of modem/ISDN devices. The code is sent when the MC5-IP is first switched on or whenever the Initialize button is clicked.

Initialize Port

When selected, this option sends the characters entered in the ‘Init string’ field to the connected modem or ISDN terminal adapter.

Restore Defaults

When selected, this option resets the ‘Baud rate’ and ‘Init string’ values to their original default settings.

Reset Configuration

This option allows you to completely reset the IP portion of the MC5-IP unit.

WARNING: This process will remove all network and modem/ISDN settings and return the unit to use its original state. A complete reconfiguration will be required before the IP features of the unit can be used.
