3.4 Assigning the IP using the serial port
After a device reset a time window of around 1-2 seconds is
available, during which you can assign a new IP address, sub-
net mask and gateway address by entering at least 3 „x“.
In contrast to other methods described above, this serial
method functions regardless of whether the device already
has an IP address, a password or not. The procedure can be
repeated as often as desired.

To avoid unintended changes to the IP address, the
DHCP client of the device is automatically deactivated
when configuring using the serial port.
Preparations/requirements
First connect the serial port A of the device to a computer. For
a standard PC or laptop, you will need a crossed RS232 cable
where only the pins 2,3, and 5 are connected.
Any serial terminal program can be used for assigning. The
following transmission parameters must be set regardless of
any other settings in the device:
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 Stop bit, no Handshake
Start the serial configuration mode
Reset the device by interrupting the power. While the device
is starting up, use the terminal program to send the letter x
at least three times. The device will then return the prompt
IPno.+<Enter>:.
Assigning the IP settings
Use the usual format (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to enter the IP
address, and end the entry by pressing <Enter>. If the ent-
ry was accepted, the acknowledgement is the assigned IP
address. Otherwise you will get a FAIL message followed by
the last current IP address.
