NE-4100 Series User’s Manual Initial IP Address Configuration
5-5
Serial Console (19200, n, 8, 1)
You may use the RS-232 console port to configure the IP address for NE-4100 Series modules.
We suggest using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of
the MOXA PComm Lite program suite, to carry out the installation procedure, although other
similar utilities may also be used. (Please go to www.moxa.com to download the installation
program for PComm Lite.)
To begin with, use the serial cable to connect the NE-4100 module to your computer’s serial port.
1. Connect the RS-232 DEBUG (P1) serial port located on the evaluation board (NE-4100-ST,
NE-4110-ST, or NE-4120-ST) for NE-4100 module directly to your computer’s male RS-232
serial port.
2. From the Windows desktop click on Start % Programs % PComm Lite % Terminal
Emulator.
3. When the PComm Terminal Emulator window
opens, first click on the Port Manager menu item and
select Open, or simply click on the Open icon.
4. The Property window opens automatically. From the
Communication Parameter page, select the
appropriate COM port for the connection, COM1 in
this example, and 19200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data
Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.
5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select
ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and then click
OK.
If you select Dumb Terminal as the terminal type,
some of the console functions—especially the
“Monitor” function—may not work properly.
6. Type any character to switch automatically from data mode to console mode.
7. Start configuring the IP address under Networking
Settings. Refer to step 4, Telnet Console, for the rest
of the IP settings.
