3. Click Setup. “Setup is in process...” appears in the status bar of the Ethernet Adaptor IP Configuration
window.
NOTE: With MSS adaptors, if the IP address you type in already exists, the status bar will read, “IP
address already exists.” In addition, if the adaptor already has an address assigned, the status bar
will read, “Setup IP Address failed.” Follow the steps in “Resetting a serial server” on page 63 and
run the IP Configuration again.
4. When the setup is complete, a message window appears asking whether you want to send a test message
to the new IP address. Click Yes or No.
5. Close the Ethernet Adaptor IP Configuration window once the status bar indicates the setup is complete.
Resetting a serial server
There may be times when you need to reset the serial server to its default factory settings.
1. Remove power from the adapter, either the cable to the sign (Alpha Ethernet Adapter) or its power cable
(MSS100 or MSS485).
2. Using the point of a pen or a similar object, press and hold the reset button on the serial server and then
reapply power to the sign. Continue to hold the reset button for 20 seconds after reapplying power.
