Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable
Configuring the SVxx41HDIE using a serial cable is the best choice if you need to pre-
configure the unit before attaching it to a network, i.e. when sending to a branch office,
customer site, etc. In general, the Web configuration is preferable because of its intuitive
interface and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical proximity to
perform the configuration. However, if you wish to use the serial cable method to
configure the SVxx41HDIE, you can use any typical communication software package
(
UNIX:
tip, cu, kermit, minicom;
Windows:
HyperTerminal, kermit).
You can use the serial port on the SVxx41HDIE to access the terminal configuration tool;
to do so, you will require a null modem serial cable. Connect a female end of a serial
cable to the serial port used for serial access on the host computer. Connect the
opposite end to the SVxx41HDIE. Configure the terminal software with “8N1” settings:
Connection speed:
115200 bps
No. of bits:
8
Parity:
None
Stop bits:
1

Using the Web Interface
The Web interface is the most intuitive way to configure the SVxx41HDIE. Offering a
Java-based VNC client that can be used to control the host computer from a remote
location, as well as support for any industry-standard HTML Web browser. You can
access the Web interface by opening your Web browser and entering the IP address of
the SVxx41HDIE you wish to access/configure. The IP address will be either
a)
the
address assigned by your DHCP server as identified in the previous section, or
b)
192.168.1.123 if your network uses static IP addressing.
