AX Quick Start
STEP 1: Connect to Console Port
Connect to PC Console.
You will need to connect the
Tenor AX
to your workstation’s serial port through the RS-232 con-
nection. (This connection will be used when you assign an IP address to the unit.) For the instructions below, it is assumed you
are connecting to a Windows PC.

STEP 2: Power Up the System
1. Plug in the power cord to an AC outlet.
2. Locate the on/off switch on the back of the unit and click the switch to
On
.
STEP 3: Configure Terminal Software/Assign IP address to Tenor AX
Before you can configure
Tenor AX
, you need to assign a valid IP address. When a
Tenor AX
is shipped to a customer, you need
to assign a valid IP address for each unit. An IP address is a 32 bit (up to 12 numeric characters) address used to identify each
network device in the TCP/IP network. If the unit does not have an IP address, data will not be able to be sent to or from the unit.
Communication between the Tenor and the PC is enabled via RS-232 connection and terminal emulation software. The instruc-
tions below assume you are running HyperTerminal (running Windows 95 or later) on your PC. For all other terminal emulation
packages, the specific Tenor commands used to assign the IP address will be the same, but the software specific instructions will
be different. Consult the applicable documentation for more information.
You can re-configure the IP address using the procedure which follows.
1. Press the Tenor AX’s power switch to
On
.
2. Click on
Start> Programs> Accessories> Communications>HyperTerminal> Run.
The

window will be displayed.
