Initial Configuration

MCIP comes pre-configured with the values shown below, and its communication interfaces are
based on TCP/IP. You must perform an initial IP configuration to access MCIP for the first time.
PARAMETER
IP auto configuration
IP address
Netmask
Gateway
IP access
LAN interface speed
LAN interface duplex mode

Initial Configuration via DHCP Server

By default, MCIP will try to contact a DHCP server in the subnet to which it is physically
connected. If a DHCP server is found, it may provide a valid IP address, gateway address, and net
mask.
Before you connect the MCIP unit to your local subnet, complete the corresponding configuration
of your DHCP server. Raritan recommends that you configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC
address of MCIP. The MAC address is located on the outside of the shipping box and on the
bottom of the MCIP unit. If the DHCP connection fails on boot up, MCIP will not have an IPv4
address.

Initial Configuration via Serial Interface

MCIP has a serial line interface on its front panel. The connector is compliant to RS 232 serial
line standard. The serial interface must be configured with the parameters listed below.
PARAMETER
