To use the EIA-232 interface to set the Protocol Converter’s IP address:
1. Connect the EIA-232 port on the Protocol Converter to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal)
with a 9-pin, male-female, straight-through serial cable.
2. Set the appropriate communication port to 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, (9600/N/8/1), and no software or
hardware flow command.
3. Once the terminal emulation software starts, press Enter on the keyboard.
The Protocol Converter’s boot prompt appears, (RIM_PC>).
NOTE: If the Protocol Converter’s boot prompt does not appear, check the communication settings
and make sure the unit is powered on.
