2.3.1 Setup the IP address from Console Port
The IP serial console offers user-friendly menu-driven user interface. User can simply connect a VT-100
terminal to the console port to access to the unit. This is useful when you does not know the network
settings of the server, and can not access to the server. In this case, you can view or change the settings
(IP address, Subnet mask, etc) via the console port.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Connect the console port on the rear panel to a serial port on a PC host using the CAT5 cable
and the appropriate RJ45/DB9F adapter packaged with the IPCS unit
2. Configure a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, using the following settings:
■ Baudrate = 115200, Data bits = 8, Stop bits = 1, Parity = none, Flow control = none
3. Enter the user name and password in order to access to the system.
User Name Default Password
root root
The following figure depicts the structure of the interface.
