Appendix A Console Mode

When you forget the system password or the IP address of the DI-704, you need to enter

console mode to reset them.

Before invoking the console program, be sure to find a null modem cable and use it to

connect from the DI-704’s COM port to your computer’s COM port. Then, execute a

terminal program, such as the Hyper Terminal of MS Windows 95. The connection

parameters should be set to 19200 8-N-1. And, reboot the DI-704. When the M1 indicator

starts flashing regularly, you can press the “Enter” key of the keyboard several times, there

should be some messages and console prompt ">" appeares in the terminal.

In the console mode, you may reset the IP address and the system password of the DI-704.

Please remember to execute the SR command to save the changes you have made. For

example,

IP 192.168.123.254
