3.5 Console Mode
Console mode provides a method of to accessing the MX250 in a known, predefined state.
Console mode is used to initially configure the IP address of the system or to recover a lost or
unknown IP address. Putting the MX250 in console mode during power up.
Before putting the MX250 into console mode, you should disconnect the Ethernet ports from your
system. This will ensure that there are no conflicts with other devices on your network.
Important
Ensure that the Ethernet cables are disconnected from the MX250 before entering
console mode. Failure to do so may disturb other devices on the LAN.
When the MX250 is in console mode, you can connect a computer to the Second Ethernet Port
(item 8 in figure 3-2 on page 12). The IP address used to access the MX250 depends whether the
MX250 was placed in console mode during normal operation or during power up.
3.5.1 Console Mode Activated During Power Up
Pressing the Console button during power up sets the console port to a known fixed IP address
so you can communicate with the MX250.
To put the MX250 into console mode from power up:
1. Disconnect the Ethernet ports from your system.
2. Ensure power to the MX250 is turned off.
3. Press and hold the Console button.
4. Turn power on the MX250.
5. Keep the Console button held for about 60 seconds.
The MX250 indicates it has entered console mode with the Status LED as shown in figure 7-5.
To communicate with the MX250 in console mode, connect your PC directly to the Second
Ethernet Port (item 8 in figure 3-2 on page 12). To access the MX250, configure your PC’s network
interface with an IP address of 192.168.1.111 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Access the MX250 at IP address
192.168.1.100 using an HTML browser or the MX250
administration software if you already have it installed on the computer. For details on how to
configure the MX250, see the MX Administration User’s Manual .
To exit the console mode you must shut down and power cycle the MX250. To turn the power off,
either use the shutdown command from the MX administration software or press the reset button
(item 3 in figure 3-2 on page 12).
3.5.2 Console Mode Activated During Normal Operation
If you are unable to access your system through the User Interface, you can allow Zultys Technical
Support to access your system by entering Run Time Console Mode during normal MX operation.
You should enter Run Time Console Mode only as instructed by a member of Zultys Technical
Support.
Pressing the Console button during normal operation puts the MX250 into console mode without
changing its IP addresses.
