There are two ways of configuring the Serial Modem using the configuration tool
via the Ethernet interface.
1. The modem is connected directly to the operating PC/Notebook using a
cross-over patch cable. After the configuration tool has been started, the
connected Serial Modem is automatically located and can be configured.
2. The Serial Modem is connected with a patch cable to a switch in an
existing network, to which the operating PC/Notebook is connected as
well. After the configuration tool has been started, all connected Serial
Modems are located automatically and can be configured. To configure
Serial Modems that are located in another network segment (e.g. behind a
router), they must be searched for in the network by manually entering the
IP address. The IP-addresses of these modems cannot be changed.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface of the Operating PC
For the operating PC to be able to communicate with the Serial Modem, the
Ethernet interface of the operating PC/Notebook must be configured accordingly.
