Microtronix Access Serial-TCP/IP Converter
3 Quick Start Guide
Configuration of the Access will require a PC or laptop with any standard Internet browser like Internet
Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Optionally, a serial COM port (or USB serial adapter) on the PC with a
terminal emulator application may be used to connect to the Console/WAN interface.
3.1 Installation
1) The Access may be placed on a shelf in a rack, or mounted using a rack mount kit.
2) Connect to the IP network through the RJ45 10/100 Network port.
3) Optional: Connect the Console/WAN port to the PC using the Console Cable. Refer to the
“Console/WAN Port” section below for instructions.
4) Connect DC power adapter and AC power cord, or attach the -48VDC power cord
5) Wait 20 seconds for the boot process to complete. The RUN led will start to blink.
3.2 Console/WAN Port
The Console/WAN port offers system control access during the boot-up process. Boot messages will
be displayed if a PC COM port is connected using the Console Cable, and a terminal emulator like
“putty” or “HyperTerminal” is set for 9600-N-8-1.
3.2.1 UBoot Command Access
After power up, there is a 10 second delay that allows U-Boot command access:
Autoboot in 10 seconds (Enter password to stop)...
if the password “foad” is typed while the message is displayed, the U-Boot prompt “A4K:>” will indicate
command readiness.
3.2.2 Setting Default IP Parameters
The default IP network parameters may be modified or added here as an alternative to the configuration
via the web interface. Enter the following commands to change the default IP address, netmask,
default gateway (if needed), and optionally a new system “hostname”
set ipaddr 10.1.1.240
set netmask 255.255.255.0
set gatewayip 10.1.1.1
set hostname MYNAME
save
boot
These defaults will remain in effect until again changed again in U-Boot, or explicitly changed via the
Ethernet
configuration page in the web interface.
