CAT5

Connecting to the SMTCP-R for the first time WITHOUT DHCP 

The first time you connect the SMTCP-R, you will need to perform the following steps to set the initial 

configuration. This includes establishing an HTTP connection and manually setting the IP address for the 

SMTCP-R.

1. 

Power off all devices. 

2. 

Use a female to male 

Straight-Through

 RS-232 (Serial) cable to connect 

the SMTCP-R to the computer. 

3. 

Use a CAT5 ethernet cable to connect the SMTCP-R to a TCP/IP network 

via a network router or other network connection. 

 

 

 

 

4. 

Power on the computer and run a terminal program such as Hyperterminal to open a serial connection 

to the SMTCP-R using the standard 9600 baud, 8, N, 1, None Flow Control configuration.

5. 

Power on the SMTCP-R,  and wait for a command prompt to appear. 

6. 

Press 

? <enter>

 to show the network configuration help screen as follows:

Command:

     ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»

     º Network Configuration help º

     ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

Enter a command followed by optional parameters

Commands are SET DHCP INFO RESET and QUIT/SAVE

SET command allows you to change the network configuration:

SI xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = Set IP Address

        (if IP address is not entered then DHCP is ENABLED)

SM xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = Set IP Mask

SG xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = Set Gateway Address

RN                 = Reset Network Params:

                       IPADDR  = 192.168.0.2

                       IPMASK  = 255.255.255.0

                       GATEWAY = 192.168.0.1

DHCP ON            = Enable DHCP

DHCP OFF           = Disable DHCP

INFO               = Display network configuration

RESET              = Factory reset

QUIT               = Saves configuration and quits

SAVE               = Same as QUITNOTE: the above IP address is for demonstration purposes only. 

Actual results may be different.

 

7.  Follow the menu options to manually assign an IP address to the SMTCP-R, then refer to 

page 8 for instructions to connect via HTTP.
