Optionally, you can install PortVision DX on a Windows system on the network and perform all of these tasks.
PortVision DX provides a Telnet/SSH session, which is discussed in Accessing RedBoot Commands in Telnet/
SSH Sessions (PortVision DX) on Page 109.

9.1. Accessing RedBoot Overview

To access RedBoot, you can use one of the following methods:
• A serial connection between Port 1 on the ICDM-RX/TCP and a COM port on a PC (Page 112). If you plan
on using the serial method, you will need a null modem cable, a terminal program installed and configured
on the PC, and a Bootloader Timeout value in excess of 15 seconds. If the Bootloader Timeout value
has been reduced to 1 second, this procedure will NOT be possible.
Note: Use the serial connection method, if the ICDM-RX/TCP is not on the same Ethernet network
segment as the PC.
If you do not know the IP address of the ICDM-RX/TCP you must use a serial connection to communicate
with the ICDM-RX/TCP.
• A telnet connection (Page 113), if the ICDM-RX/TCP is locally accessible by Ethernet. A telnet connection
requires that you know the IP address. In addition, the IP address must also be valid for the network to
which it is attached.
For example: The network segment must be 192.168.250.x to telnet to the ICDM-RX/TCP default IP
address if you have not changed the IP address to operate on your network.
