gcf_out service on that port and has provided you with a FORTH

compatibility interface. Type

GETTY

and press ENTER to gain access to the login prompt.

If the

DATA OUT port does not respond when you press ENTER, or

produces garbage, check that your terminal program is using the same

baud rate as the DCM. By default, the DCM uses a baud rate of 115200,
with 8 data bits, no parity bit and 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

If the

DATA OUT port produces a large quantity of characters, it may

be sending GCF data. Try typing

forcegetty

repeatedly. If the DCM is running the

gcf_out service on this port, it

will stop transmitting and give you access to the login prompt.

If the

DATA OUT port is not responding at all, check the power supply

to the DCM.

I cannot see the DCM's Web site over HTTP or HTTPS.

There is a problem with the network setup. Connect to the DCM's

DATA OUT port using a terminal program and change the network

settings to suit your network. In particular:

If the DCM has a static IP address, use ifconfig to verify that

the DCM is using the correct IP address. If it is not, change it

with

gcfgdbset net.eth.0 static

gcfgdbset net.eth.0.netmask 255.255.255.0

gcfgdbset net.eth.0.address 192.168.0.2

(replacing 192.168.0.2 with the IP address you want the DCM

to use.)

If the DCM is using DHCP, use ifconfig to verify that the

DCM is using the IP address you expected. If it is not, change
the settings of your DHCP server or connect to the correct IP

address for the DCM

Check that your local PC can route to the DCM's IP address. For
example, if you are using a cross-over Ethernet cable, the two

hosts must share a subnet.
