Connecting and logging in via the Console port

To access the IPLink configuration via the console port, connect the DB9-RJ45 adapter to the DB-9 serial port
on the PC or dumb terminal. Use the RJ45 straight-through cable between the adapter and the console port on
the 2884/2888. (see figure 10). Do NOT connect the device to the Ethernet LAN now. On the PC, start a
HyperTerminal session at 19200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Log into the unit using the user-
name admin. Leave the password field empty.

The factory default configuration for the Ethernet interface IP addresses and network masks are listed in table 6.
Both Ethernet interfaces are activated upon power-up.
If these addresses match with those of your network, go to section “3. Connecting the IpLink to the network”
