Chapter 1: Installation
neTwork ConfiGUraTion
The IMS-4000 Node has a serial port on the front panel which is used to configure network settings and security options. A
dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online and set up the configuration. The port is male DTE,
so a DB9 female–female null modem cable will be required. Terminal communication settings must be set to:
• 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
To get online with the IMS-4000 Node, connect your terminal to the serial port and press <RETURN>. A menu will appear
which will guide you through the setup.
