3.1.4 Assigning an IP Address Using CLI

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

Note: The CLI method for assigning an IP address is not applicable to MP-112 as

this model does not provide RS-232 serial interface.

¾ To assign an IP address using CLI:

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

your PC:

• For MP-11x, refer to “Connecting the MP-11x RS-232 Port to Your PC” on page

• For MP-124,

refer to “Connecting the MP-124 RS-232 Port to Your PC” on page

2. Use a se

rial communication software (e.g., HyperTerminal

) to establish a serial

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

• Baud Rate: 9,600 bps for MP-11x; 115,200 bps for MP-124

• Data Bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

The CLI prompt appears.

3. At the prompt, type the following command, and then press <Enter> to access the

CONFiguration folder:

conf

4. To view the current network parameters, at the prompt, type the following command,

and then press <Enter>:

GCP IP

5. Change the network settings by typing the following command:

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: For the SCP IP command, you must enter all three network parameters (each

separated by a space).

6. To save the configuration, at the prompt, type the following command, and then press

<Enter>:

SAR

7. The device restarts with the new network settings.
