Setting Up An Ip Address Via The Serial Port - Spectracom PRISMA VelaSync User Manual

In order to apply a static IP address to any Ethernet port, DHCP must be disabled.
To update network settings using a serial connection, please see "Setting Up an IP Address via
the Serial Port" below.
2.7.2 Setting Up an IP Address via the Serial Port
VelaSync's rear panel serial port connector is a standard DB9 male connector. Communication
with the serial port can be performed using a PC with a terminal emulator program (such as
PuTTY or TeraTerm), using a pinned null- modem standard DB9F to DB9M serial cable. The
VelaSync serial port operates at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
The serial port can be used to make configuration changes (such as the network settings),
retrieve operational data (e.g., GNSS receiver information) and log files, or to perform oper-
ations such as resetting the admin password.
The serial port is account and password protected. You can log in via the serial port using the
same user names and passwords as would be used to log in to the VelaSync Web UI. Users
with administrative permissions can perform all available commands. Users with user per-
missions only can perform "get" commands that retrieve data, but cannot perform any "set"
commands or change/reset any passwords.
