Configuration Using Telnet
Step 1: Ensure the PC and Serial Server are connected to the LAN.
Step 2: Apply power to the Serial Server. The power and ready LED
will light.
Step 3: If the DIP switches on the Serial Server all are in the ON
position (Console mode), switch them to the OFF position.
The Serial Server will revert to the operational mode it was in
before the switches were all set to ON.
Step 4: From the Desktop, click Start, then Run. The Run dialogue
box will open.
Step 5: Type in Telnet and the IP address of the Serial Server to be
configured, then click OK.

The Serial Server must be in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode before you can
Telnet to it and access the configuration screens. If it was last configured in
Console mode you may not be able to access it using Telnet. In this case use
ESP Manager, Console Mode or Web Server for configuration.
