Connecting Through a Serial Port Link

Prerequisites: This procedure assumes that the Configuration/Service Software (CSS) application is
loaded on your service computer/laptop. See the Private Network Management Client manual.
When and where to use: This procedure describes the steps required to connect through a serial port
link to set the IP address of the device and to set the serial security services. Perform all other device
function and feature configurations through an Ethernet port connection in the CSS.
Procedure:
1 Connect a serial cable to a service computer/laptop running CSS, and the serial connector on
the device module. The serial cable is an RS232, female DB-9 to male DB-9 straight through
cable. If the service computer/laptop does not have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial converter
external device.
2 Open the CSS application.
3 From the menu, select Tools → Connection Configuration.
The Connection Screen dialog box appears.
4 In the Connection Type area, select Serial.
The Serial Settings area on the dialog box becomes enabled.
