Configuration; Initial Configuration Via A Serial Console - Lindy aJ-Orion User Manual

3. Configuration

The IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB's
communication interfaces are all based on
TCP/IP. The switch comes pre-configured
with the IP configuration detailed here:
If this initial configuration does not meet your requirements, the following section describes the
configuration that is necessary to access the IP ACCESS SWITCH CLASSIC USB for the first
time.
3.1 Initial IP Configuration via Network
If DHCP mode is enabled (IP auto configuration = DHCP), the IP Access KVM Switch Classic
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 device to your local subnet, be sure to complete the corresponding configuration of
your DHCP server. It is recommended to configure a fixed IP assignment to the MAC address of
the IP Access KVM Switch Classic. You can find the MAC address labelled on the bottom side
of the metal housing.
There is a Network Setup Software tool (PSetup) for setting up the network configuration (IP
address, Subnet mask, DHCP, etc). It is useful when you want to change the network settings
or when you cannot access to the unit due to not knowing the network settings of the unit. In
this case, you can view or change the settings via this utility. Follow the procedure described on
the next page (Section 3.3.)
3.2 Initial Configuration via Serial Console
The IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB has a serial
line interface (host side) for connecting a serial
terminal. This connector is compliant with the RS-
232 serial line standard. The serial line has to be
configured with the parameters given in this table:
When configuring with a serial terminal, reset the IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB and
immediately press the ESC key. You will see some device information and a "=>" prompt. Type
config and press the Enter key. Wait a few seconds for the configuration questions to appear.
As you proceed, the following questions will appear on the screen. To accept the default values
(shown in square brackets below) press the Enter key.
