Connecting to the SMTCP-R for the first time (with DHCP)

The first time you connect the SMTCP-R, you will need to perform the following steps to set

the initial configuration. This includes establishing an HTTP connection and manually setting

the IP address for the SMTCP-R.

1. Power off all devices.

2. Use a female to male Straight-Through RS-232 (Serial) cable

to connect the SMTCP-R to the computer.

3. Use a CAT5 ethernet cable to connect the SMTCP-R to a TCP/

IP network via a network router or other network connection

that has DHCP enabled. If your network does not support DHCP,

please see page 11 of this manual for instructions.

4. Power on the computer and run a terminal program such as Hyperterminal to open a

serial connection to the SMTCP-R using the standard 9600 baud, 8, N, 1 configuration.

5. Power on the SMTCP-R. When powered on, it will obtain an IP address automatically via

DHCP from the network.

6. The IP information for the SMTCP-R will be displayed on the terminal screen as follows:

**************************
