56 Asanté FriendlyNET Cable/DSL Router
11.3 Console Mode
The FriendlyNET FR3004C/FR3004LC Cable/
DSL Routers feature a special console mode. If
you forget the Administrator’s password or IP ad-
dress of the router, use the following procedure to
reset them.
1.
Connect a null modem cable from your router’s COM port to your com-
puter’s serial port.
Note: Do not use a Standard Straight Through Modem cable. A null modem ca-
ble or adapter can be purchased from your local electronics dealer.
1.
Run a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal for Win-
dows or Zterm for Macintosh).
2. Your terminal connection parameters
should be 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity,
and one stop bit.
3. Turn your router OFF and ON.
4. When the router’s COM port LED indicator
flashes, press the Enter key on your com-
puter several times. The “>” symbol should
appear on your screen.
5. To reset the IP address or Administrator’s
password, type the following commands in
your terminal emulation program. For ex-
ample:
To reset the IP Address, type:
IP 192.168.123.254
SR
To reset the Administrator password, type:
PW admin
SR
The SR command is used to save the changes you have requested.
