Configuring the Instant Internet unit through a PC direct
connection
To configure the unit with a PC using the out-of-band management feature, you
must:
• Connect the unit to the PC.
• Use terminal emulation software to configure and establish a connection.
Connecting a PC to the Instant Internet unit
This procedure assumes that the Instant Internet unit is installed, turned on, and
ready for operation. LED 2 glows amber when the unit is ready for initial
configuration.
To connect a PC to the Instant Internet unit:
1
Plug one end of the null modem cable into the AUX port on the rear of the
unit.
2 Plug the other end of the cable into the serial port on the PC.
You can now use terminal emulation software to configure the Instant Internet unit
using remote access commands.
Configuring a direct connection
Regardless of the terminal emulation environment you use, you must set the
connection speed to 115200, set the flow control to hardware (RTS/CTS), and
connect the Instant Internet unit’s AUX port to the PC’s COM1 port.
Note:
You can connect any type of smart terminal in a similar manner.
