Chapter 5 - Console Mode
In some situations, you may need to access your Broadband Router
from the serial port interface known as the Console Mode. Console Mode
allows you to change the IP address, and password, toggle the DHCP
server setting, and restore default settings to your Broadband Router. You
may use the HyperTerminal program provided with Microsoft Windows to
access the Console Mode. A null modem cable is required to connect the
COM port of your computer to the COM port of the Broadband Router.
When connecting the null modem cable to your computer, make a note of
which COM port you use, you will need this information when you setup
the connection in HyperTerminal. To use the Console Mode, follow these
steps:
1. Connect the null modem cable from your Broadband Router’s COM
port to your computers COM port.
2. Open HyperTerminal by clicking on
Start>Programs>Accessories>Communications>HyperTerminal.
3. Setup a terminal connection using the following settings:
Bits per second (baud): 19200
Data bits:
8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: Hardware
4. Start the connection and turn the Broadband Router off and then on
again. When the Broadband Router finishes the startup tests, press the
ENTER key several times on your keyboard.
