IpLink 2884/2888 Getting Started Guide

4 • Initial configuration

 

 

provide the PC with an IP address. You can check the connection to the IpLink by executing the ping com- mand from the PC command window as follows:

ping 192.168.200.10

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.
