2.4. Configurations
The Parani-MSP1000 provides several paths to set up the box to make it work properly as expected.
z RS232 Serial console
If users want to set up the box before the network set-up, they can do it directly by using RS232
serial console cable provided in the package. This method is used when users want to set up the
box initially or without network connection. The menu-driven user interface provides limited
functions for initial configuration.
