Assigning IP Settings from the Console Port

The following steps use the console port to assign IP settings.

on a workstation using the Ethernet console cable and the appropriate Digi
console adapter packaged with the Digi CM. The arrow in the following
graphic points to the console port.

2. Configure a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, using the

following settings:

bps=9600

data bits=8

parity=none

stop bits=1

flow control=none.

3. Establish a connection to the console port and press Enter to get a

command prompt.
