Apply power
Connect the power supply to a wall outlet and to the 4-position power connector on the
ZyWAN. See Power connection on page 18 for the power input socket pin configuration
details.
Determine ZyWAN network address (DHCP)
Port 1 on the ZyWAN is typically set to acquire its address automatically using DHCP.
Since the address is dynamically assigned, the ZyWAN address must be determined
before it can be configured.
One way to check the ZyWAN network address is to use a crossover (null modem)
serial cable between the PC and the ZyWAN. The null modem cable can be purchased
from Arcom Control Systems, or it may be obtained from an electronics supply store.
If your network administrator can determine the DHCP assigned address after
the ZyWAN starts up, the serial cable is not needed. Just skip to the next
section, Browse ZyWAN configuration page on page 31.
To determine the ZyWAN network address (DHCP):
1 Select the Windows Start menu, Programs, Accessories, Communications,
HyperTerminal. The Connection Description window is displayed.
2 Enter a name for this HyperTerminal configuration, as shown below:
3 Set the Connect using option to COM1, or whatever free RS-232 port exists on
this PC:
