Initial Setup
Changing the IP Address
The OP4200 pre-configured with an IP address (an identifying label will be attached to the unit), but it
may conflict with your network insfrastructure; you may need to change the IP address for your OP4200.
The best way to do this is to directly connect your OP4200 to your host computer (laptop, etc.). (Be sure
to contact your IT department to obtain a valid IP address from them).
Before you begin, make sure your computer has a serial terminal program installed; you will need it to
access the “OP4200 Recovery” application. If there is no serial terminal installed, you must install one
(such as MobaXterm) to access the OP4200 configuration application.
The RS232 cable enables users to connect the OP4200 to a PC to access the IP address modification
interface. It also allows users to perform various troubleshooting or reflashing activities.
