Section 5
Obtaining IP Settings for the Controller (When
IP is Unknown)
5.0 Section Overview
• If IP addressing has been changed on the controller and is unknown, the IP address can be obtained
through a serial connection to the LMT port on the controller.
• If the local computer is not equipped with a serial port, a USB-to-serial adapter can be used. Airlink
101 adapter has been found to be highly reliable.
• The screens shown are examples from a Windows ® XP PC that has been configured to display the
‘Classic’ interface. Screens may differ with other versions of Windows ® .

5.1.1 Establishing a Serial Connection to the Controller
1. Ensure that the controller is powered up. On power up, the status LED will be solid green. After
the LED has been illuminated for 10 seconds, it is ready to be connected to a COM1 serial port
of a computer.
2. Using an RS–232 serial cable, connect the COM1 serial port on a local computer and the LMT
serial port on the front of the controller (Figure 5-1).
