4.1.1 Man-Machine Interface (MMI)
Initial steps The MMI with its display and input keys is a good method for establishing “initial
contact” with X4000 . You should carry out the following initial steps with the
MMI:
➤
set the desired display language
➤
enter the IP address and netmask
You can then carry out further configuration steps using the Configuration
Wizard or Setup Tool.
4.1.2 Connecting Over the Serial Interface

configuration on X4000 before you have entered an IP address and netmask.
To connect X4000 to your computer over the serial interface, connect the serial
interface on the basic unit of X4000 to the serial interface of your computer.
