Serial assigning of IP, subnet mask and gateway

After a LAN-Modem reset a time window of around 2 seconds is
available, during which you can assign a new IP address, subnet
mask and gateway address by entering at least 3 „x".

This serial method functions regardless of whether the
LAN-Modem already has an IP address or not. The
procedure can be repeated as often as desired. Therefore use
this method if you don't know the IP address or have forgotten
it.
First connect the serial port of the LAN-Modem to a computer.
For a standard PC or laptop, you will need a 1:1 wired RS232
cable (=modem cable, see section RS232 interface).
The serial transmission parameters of the terminal program you
use should be set to 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no
handshake. Reset the LAN-Modem by interrupting the power.
When the green status LED lights up, enter the letter „x" at least
three times on the terminal, until the LAN-Modem returns the
prompt IPno.+<Enter>.
Use the usual format (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) to enter the IP
address, and end the entry by pressing <Enter>. If the entry
was accepted, the acknowledgement is the assigned IP address.
Otherwise you will get a FAIL message followed by the last
current IP address.
2.2.1 Assigning of subnet mask and gateway address
Together with the IP address, the subnet mask and gateway
address can also be assigned serially. The entry is separated
by commas and follows the IP address. Entering as shown in
