Using a Communications Program
You can use a communications program (such as HyperTerminal) to
set the initial IP address for the IF30. After you configure the IP
address, you can continue to use the communications program to set
other parameters or you can use a web browser to complete the
configuration.
To use a communications program, you must have:
• a terminal or PC with an open serial port and the communications
program.
• an RS-232 null-modem cable (P/N 059167). One end of this cable
must be a 9-pin socket connector to connect to the serial port on
the IF30. To order this cable, contact your local Intermec
representative.
To use a communications program
1 Use the RS-232 null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the
IF30 to a serial port on your PC.
2 Start the communications program and configure the serial port
communications parameters on your PC, and then click OK. You

3 Connect the IF30 to AC power. The IF30 boots as soon as you
apply power.
Note: If you have Microsoft ActiveSync running on your desktop PC,
you may need to disable ActiveSync to make the serial port available.
