Configuring the Bridge

3.4Configuration With the CFGUTIL Utility

If a BOOTP server is not available, you can configure the bridge locally using its internal CFGUTIL.EXE utility.

Set the bridge power switch to 0 (OFF). Refer to the connector panel detail in Figure 8 and connect a keyboard and VGA monitor to the bridge. Then set the bridge power to 1 (ON).

3.4.1Starting CFGUTIL

Press Ctrl--C to stop the bridge application. This will display the bridge’s command line prompt. Enter CFGUTIL to start the utility.

Here is an example of the opening menu in CFGUTIL.
