Configure Communications Through the

EIA-232 Port

You can also use the EIA-232 interface to set the IP address:

1

Connect the EIA-232 port (P4) on the LD2100 to a terminal or PC running terminal

emulation software (HyperTerminal) with a 9-pin male-female straight through serial cable.

2

2. Set the appropriate communication port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop

bit, (9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.

3

Once the terminal emulation software starts, type

?

and press Enter on the keyboard and the

Main Menu should appear. If the Main Menu does not appear, check the communication

settings and make sure the unit is powered on.

4

From the Main Menu type netcfg to select the Network Configuration Menu.

Enter the new IP address for the LD2100 by typing

ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

, where

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

is the new IP address of the unit. Separate each field with a decimal

point. For example, type

ip 10.0.0.50

.

The LD2100 erases a memory block and copies data to flash memory before rebooting.

The LD2100 IP address is now set and the LD2100 can be accessed through a Web

browser using the new IP address.
