2 Getting Started
2.4.2 Set the IP Address via EIA-232 Connection
To use the EIA-232 interface:
1 Contact your IT Department to obtain an available IP address, Subnet Mask, and default
Gateway.
2 Use a 9-pin male-female straight through serial cable to connect the EIA-232 port on the
WiNG-MGR to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal).
3 Set the appropriate communication port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
(9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.
4 Once the terminal emulation software starts, press Enter on the keyboard and the
WiNG-MGR boot prompt should appear, (MGR> or MGR boot>). If the boot prompt does
not appear, check the communication settings and make sure the unit is powered on.
5 From the boot prompt type IP then type one space and type the IP address your IT
Department provided for the unit. If you’d like to enable DHCP, type 0.0.0.0 as the IP
address. Press the enter key. For example,
IP 192.168.103.211 The WiNG-MGR will
reboot after the IP address is changed.
6 From the boot prompt type NM then type one space and type the Subnet Mask address your
IT Department provided for the unit. Press the enter key. For example,
NM 255.255.255.0 The WiNG-MGR will reboot after the Subnet Mask is changed.
7 From the boot prompt type DG then type one space and type the Default Gateway address
your IT Department provided for the unit. Press the enter key. For example,
DG 192.168.103.1 The WiNG-MGR will reboot after the Default Gateway is changed.
8 The IP address is now set and the WiNG-MGR can be accessed through a Web browser
using the new IP address.
