Configuring the IP Address
There are two ways to configure the IP address for your network:
•
Console connection through a COM port
•
Telnet connection through an Ethernet cable
Using the Console Port
The Console port supports local management by using a terminal emulator or a computer with terminal
emulation software, such as puTTY. The Console port is located near the power connector on the top of the
MP1204-XT.
In the event that you have misplaced the cable shipped with the MP1204-XT, you can use the information in
the table build a cable.
Set up the COM port with these settings:
Characteristic
Baud rate
