Modem Configuration
This page allows you to configure the
COM1 serial port located at the rear of
the MC5-IP.
Server IP / Client IP
When a user dials into the MC5-IP
via a modem or ISDN adapter, the
MC5-IP sets up a temporary two-
device network using PPP (Point to
Point Protocol). For this purpose,
both devices must have ‘dummy’
IP addresses so that they can
communicate correctly. These two
addresses can be almost anything
expressed in the quad octet format (i.e. 192.168.3.1.). However, it is advisable
not to make them the same as the real IP addresses used by either the remote
system or the MC5.
Baud Rate
This option configures the speed of the serial connection between the MC5-
IP and a connected modem or ISDN terminal adapter. The default setting is
115200. The other communication settings are fixed as: No parity, 8 bit word, 1
stop bit.
Init String
The codes entered here are used to prepare the connected modem or ISDN
terminal adapter for use with the MC5-IP. The default code is a Hayes-
compatible string to configure auto answer mode and would be understood by
the vast majority of modem/ISDN devices. The code is sent when the MC5-IP is
first switched on or whenever the Initialize button is clicked.
Initialize Port
When selected, this option sends the characters entered in the ‘Init string’ field
to the connected modem or ISDN terminal adapter.
Restore Defaults
When selected, this option resets the ‘Baud rate’ and ‘Init string’ values to their
original default settings.

Reset Configuration
This option allows you to completely reset the IP portion of the MC5-IP unit.
WARNING: This process will remove all network and modem/ISDN settings
and return the unit to use its original state. A complete reconfiguration will be
required before the IP features of the unit can be used.
