Using the Serial Port

To initially configure the unit through a serial connection:

1. Connect a console terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program to your

unit's serial port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity,
1 stop bit, no flow control.

2. To enter Setup Mode, reset the unit, either by pushing the red reset button, or

cycling the unit's power (power off and back on). The self-test will begin. You
have one second

to enter three lowercase x characters (xxx).

Note:

The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at

the terminal (or emulation) while resetting the unit.

3. At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet

connection. To continue, go to step 4 in
