Assign IP Address
Before you can configure a
Tenor BX
, you need to assign a valid IP address. When a
Tenor BX
is
shipped to a customer, you will 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 net-
work. 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 emu-
lation software. The instructions 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.
