Configuring an Address Mode
A new cradle is configured for 6 DHCP Address Mode by default. If you are using this mode,
no configuration is required. However, if you are switching to the 6 DHCP Address Mode
from another mode, configure the cradle.
To configure the cradle to use the 1 or 6 DHCP Address Mode:
1. Start a Terminal Emulation session for the cradle:
a. Connect the modular end of cable (P/N 170013-000) plus a null modem adapter
between the expansion port of the cradle and a COM port on a host computer.
b. Start a terminal emulation session on the host computer. Use standard terminal
emulator software, such as ProComm
emulation settings: 115200 bps, 8N1, XON/XOFF flow control, ASCII file
transfer protocol.
c. Power up the cradle. Before the power-up LED sequence begins, press a from
the terminal program to load the Cradle Utilities configuration interface. The
following screen appears on the host computer:
