Digicast Micro Encapsulator (MENCAP) Revision A
Installation & Initial Configuration MN/MENCAPEDC.IOM
2.4.2 Redundancy Configuration
The initial configuration involves setting up the IP parameters via the terminal cable.
The MENCAP Redundancy comes preconfigured – simply configure the IP address for
both the Primary and Secondary units.
Once the IP parameters have been configured, the terminal cable can be removed and
should be stored in a known location, since it may be needed in the future.
To configure the IP parameters:
Step Procedure
1 Using a terminal emulator on a PC such as HyperTerminal™ or TeraTerm™,
set up the communication port as follows:
• 38,400 BAUD
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• No Flow Control
2 Press the <ENTER> key on the PC – the MENCAP 50’s menu should be
displayed.
3 Press “N” for Network Menu.
4 Press “I” for the IP Address. Enter the IP Address and press <ENTER>.
5 Press “M” for the Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask and press <ENTER>.
6 Press “G” for the Default Gateway IP Address. Enter the Default Gateway
