A serial connection through the Serial 1 uses a fixed IP address:
192.168.168.101.
To control the 8600 directly through its Serial 1 or Ethernet port, you can use the
freeware terminal emulation application PuTTY. If you wish to automate control,
download Plink. Both of these applications are available for free download. Search
“PuTTY” with Google to find a download site.
Note that Windows 7 does not install a Telnet Client by default, so you
must do this manually if you wish to initiate a Telnet connection between
a Windows 7 machine and your Optimod. Refer to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(WS.10).aspx
Direct Control Using PuTTY
A) If you are using a serial connection, establish a Direct Serial Connection be-
tween your computer and the Optimod. See
Appendix: Setting Up Serial
Communications starting on page 2-75.
