The static IP address of the control computer is set.
4 Click Start and navigate to All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
The Command Prompt window appears.
5 Enter the command
telnet <IP address> 8998
using the IP address assigned to the
CXPS in Step 2 above.
Telnet control is established. See Appendix A, “RS-232 and 10/100T Protocol,” for a list of
commands and how they are used to control the CXPS.
Because the CXPS now has a static IP address, the RS-232 interface is no longer required. If
the IP address of the CXPS is misplaced, simply reconnect the RS-232 controls and use the
SHOWNET
command to retrieve the IP address.
The final system installation process is complete.

NOTE:
If the CXPS is powered off for several days, when the equipment is
powered back on, the DHCP server within the network may issue a new IP
address. If this happens, web-server GUI control can only be restarted by
beginning at
Step 3 and determining the new IP address using the RS-232
SHOWNET command again.
