Connecting the Receiver and the NIU
Using the CAT 5 cable (straight through cable with RJ 45 on both
ends) supplied with the NIU, connect from the 10/100 ETHERNET
Port on the NIU to the Hub or the network, and cycle power on the
NIU. PC applications will be able to connect to the IP address you
assigned to the NIU and using port 3001.
Using a DB 9 to DB 25 (straight through) cable, connect from the
Receiver to the NIU. Connect from the DB 9 labeled
RS-232
on the
Receiver to the DB 25 labeled
SERIAL
on the NIU.

If you need to connect to the NIU to change parameters, the best
method is “telnet”. From a DOS window on the PC, type
telnet
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address you
assigned to the NIU.
