Edit Comm Settings
NOTES:  • When entering this mode, the LCD menu displays the setting from 
 comm port 1. Changes made to the comm settings via the front 
 panel affects all the comm ports. 
• The lower rear panel RS-232 port is designated as Comm 1, the upper 
 port is Comm 3, and the front panel config port is Comm 2.
1.  Press Next to go through each sublevel to edit the following: serial port settings, DHCP 
(on or off), IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
NOTE:  The hardware address (the MAC address) is hard coded and cannot be 
changed. In edit mode the MAC address is not displayed.
2.  At each level, use both Adjust knobs to set new values as desired. For example rotate 
the left front panel Adjust knob ([) to adjust the baud rate (9600, 19200, 38400, or 
115200), and rotate the right Adjust knob ({) to select the connection type 
(RS-232/RS-422).
NOTES:  • For IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address settings, the left 
 Adjust knob moves between octets and the right Adjust knob changes 
 the values.

 address can result in the loss of connection.
