Changing the initial IP address via an RS232 Console or Telnet
Another option to modify the IP address of the Polycom® RSS™ 4000 is using the RS232 console.
1Connect to the RS232 port – and activate the console (9600, 8bits).
2When login to the console, input the default password “POLYCOM” to enter the system.
3After the user have logged onto the system, enter "?" or "help" after the "#" to show the following information:
#?
Available commands:
show Show system information.
...
set lan1 static <ip address> netmask <ip mask> [gw <gateway address>]
4Change the IP address using the command in below format (the exact addresses are just for a instance):
set lan1 static 172.21.100.20 netmask 255.255.224.0 [gw 172.21.96.254]
The same steps apply also for Telnet connection.
Only one console can be connected at any given time (either Telnet or RS232 not both).
The system is now ready for use, the following chapters will give further descriptions for device configuration and operation.
