5-1.3.2 Serial Port Login: To assign the IP address and other network settings using a serial connection:
a. Connect a console terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program to the rear-panel RS232 connector.
The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control. Set the rear-panel
Mode Select switch to the Console position.
b. To enter Setup Mode, cycle the unit's power (power off and back on). After power-up, the self-test begins and
the red Diagnostic LED starts blinking. You have one second to enter three lowercase ‘x’ characters.
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the ‘x’ key at the terminal (or emulation) while
powering up the unit.

f. Enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and gateway (if applicable).
g. Select 9 to save and exit Setup Mode. The unit performs a power reset.
