Connecting to the MAX 4 through a Serial Cable

Although the serial connection allows you to set many of the Net2Phone MAX 4' s parameters, this
section will only explain how to connect to the MAX and obtain its DHCP IP address. The remaining
configuration tasks can then be completed more easily via the MAX Web Manager.
2.1.2.1 Using HyperTerminal
For this procedure you will need a standard serial cable (D-sub 9-pin, male-to-female, straight-
through connection) as shown in Figure 2, and a PC or Mac running the HyperTerminal terminal-
emulator program (or an equivalent), which is included in Microsoft operating systems. It is usually
found in the Programs menu, under Accessories.
