If this initial configuration doesn’t meet your local requirements, you need to do the initial IP

serial interface needs to be adjusted with the parameters below:

Use a terminal software (e.g. hyperterm or minicom) to connect to MCIP. Reset MCIP and
immediately press ESC. You will see some device information and an ‘ = ’ prompt. Enter the
command ‘config’ and press Enter. After waiting a few moments, configure IP auto
configuration, IP address, net mask and default gateway. Pressing Enter without entering values
does not change settings. The gateway value must be set to 0.0.0.0 (for no gateway) or any other
value. You will be asked if the values are correct and get a chance to correct them. After
confirming, MCIP performs a reset.

Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect MCIP to your configuring computer back to back. Set
the IP address of this computer to 192.168.1.1 and use the web interface with the initial IP
configuration.

Web interface

MCIP may be accessed using a standard Web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a
secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of MCIP into your
Web browser. Initially there is only one user configured who has unrestricted access to all MCIP
features:
