Assign IP Address
Before you can configure a
Tenor DX
, you need to assign a valid IP address. When a
Tenor DX
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 char-
acters) 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 soft-
ware. 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.
1. Press the Tenor DX’s power switch to
On
.
2. Click on
Start> Programs> Accessories> Communications>HyperTerminal> Run.
