You will only need to configure the addresses of the module if
there is no configured BootP server on your network. To use the
configuration program for the Management Module, you need:
■
A serial cable (see Table A-2 in Appendix A).
■
A terminal with an RS-232 serial port, or a PC with a terminal
emulation program such as Windows Terminal
®
.
The host serial port should be set to 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits,
and 1 stop bit. The console port always runs at these settings.
Local Configuration
To connect the module to the terminal and start the configuration
program:
1
Plug the serial cable into the module console port.
2
Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial port on the
back of the terminal.
