IP address, you can access the system remotely (for example, via Telnet).
Console Port Setup
A console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) can be
connected directly to the SRP I/O module via the RS-232 terminal port.
When you connect a console directly to the system, you can configure the
system without an IP address.
To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation
program running on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal
emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can
use the emulator TIP.
Using HyperTerminal
If your console uses a version of Microsoft Windows (such as Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0) that supports the HyperTerminal application, you
can access the system via HyperTerminal.

HyperTerminal.

(for example, erx1400) in the Name field.
