3.1.4 Assigning an IP Address using the CLI

You can assign an IP address to the device, using command-line interface (CLI).

¾ To assign an IP address via the CLI:

1. Connect the device's RS-232 port to either COM1 or COM2 communication port on

your PC (refer to ‘Connecting the RS-232 Port to a PC’ on page 25).

2. Use a serial communication software (e.g., HyperTerminal

) to establish a serial

communication link with the device, using the following communications port settings:

• Baud Rate: 115,200 bps

• Data Bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

The CLI prompt appears.

3. At the prompt, type conf, and then press <Enter>; the configuration folder is

accessed.

4. To view the current network parameters, at the prompt, type GCP IP, and then press

<Enter>; the current network settings are displayed.

5. Change the network settings by typing the following:

SCP IP [ip_address] [subnet_mask] [default_gateway]

For example,

SCP IP 10.13.77.7 255.255.0.0 10.13.0.1

The new settings take effect on-the-fly and connectivity to the device is active at the

new IP address.

Note: This command requires you to enter all three network parameters (each

separated by a space).

6. To save the configuration, at the prompt, type SAR, and then press <Enter>; the device

restarts with the new network settings.
