Assign IP Address
Before you can configure a Tenor BX, you need to assign a valid IP address. When a Tenor BX is
shipped to a customer, you will need to assign a valid IP address for each unit. An IP address is a 32
bit (up to 12 numeric characters) address used to identify each network device in the TCP/IP net-
work. If the unit does not have an IP address, data will not be able to be sent to or from the unit.
Communication between the Tenor and the PC is enabled via RS-232 connection and terminal emu-
lation software. The instructions below assume you are running HyperTerminal (running Windows
95 or later) on your PC. For all other terminal emulation packages, the specific Tenor commands
used to assign the IP address will be the same, but the software specific instructions will be different.
Consult the applicable documentation for more information.
You can re-configure the IP address using the procedure which follows.
NOTE: The instructions below assume you are running Windows 2000 or above.
1. Press the Tenor BX’s power switch to On.
2. Click on Start> Programs> Accessories> Communications>HyperTerminal> Run. The Connec-
tion Description window will be displayed.
3. Enter a connection name (i.e., name for each unit such as Tenor BX New Jersey).
4. Click Ok.
5. Choose the serial port on your PC from the Connect Using drop down list box (i.e., Direct to
Com 1). Click Ok. The Com1 Properties window will be displayed. See Figure 3-9.
