IP address, you can access the system remotely (for example, via Telnet).

Console Port Setup

A console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) can be
connected directly to the SRP I/O module via the RS-232 terminal port.
When you connect a console directly to the system, you can configure the
system without an IP address.

To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation
program running on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal
emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can
use the emulator TIP.

or Windows NT 4.0) that supports the HyperTerminal application, you
can access the system via HyperTerminal.
