Initial configuration

Step one: Connect to the console port

1

Ensure power is connected to the MCU and the Status LED is green.

2

Connect the console port of the MCU to the serial port of your PC using the
blue RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied.

3

Use a serial terminal program, such as Secure CRT or HyperTerminal, to
connect to the MCU. Set your terminal software to the following settings:

Baud rate:

38400

Data bits:

8

Parity:

none

Stop bits:

1

Flow control: none

4

Press Enter and the following command prompt appears on the terminal:

MCU:>

Step two: Configure Ethernet Port A settings

The default setting for the MCU Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the switch
ports to which you connect the MCU are not also set to auto-sensing mode, then you
need to configure the MCU Ethernet ports to use the same speed and duplex mode.

Only connect to Ethernet Port B if you need to connect the MCU to a
second subnet.

Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same
way. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto-
sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.

To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be
configured as auto-sensing.
