Remove all cables from the Dreambox.
Connect only the serial and the Patchcable.
The Mainspowercord is disconnected.
You need a Windows PC with a serial port (COM1 or COM2) and an Ethernet card. Connect the Ethernet
card with the Dreambox Communication port using a Crossover Patchcable. Connect the serial ports with
a serial nullmodem cable.
How to figure out the IP-Address in Windows (W98,W2K,XP) :
Click Start -> Run -> type in "Command" -> press Return.
A Dosbox opens. Type at the Dosprompt "ipconfig /all" and press Return. The IP-Address will be listed. If
you have more than one Ethernet adapter listed, then take the first adapter. If you don't see an IP-
Address, maybe you have no Ethernet card installed or configured. Refer to Windows Help or consult a
Technician for assistance.
Note the IP-Address and Subnetmask.
