IP Single or Dual Port EXTender 4100: Quick Installation Guide

Setting up the COM Port

The Remote can be configured through the serial port when using a terminal
emulator such as Windows HyperTerminal. The following are the steps
necessary to access the Remote’s Management Console.

1. Start a HyperTerminal session. On a default installation of Windows XP, for

example, at the Start menu select Programs, Accessories, Communications
and finally HyperTerminal.

2. Enter a name for the new connection in the Name box – Remote, for

example

3. Select the COM port you are using from the options in the Connect drop-

down list

4. Check the configuration of the communications port and make sure that the

settings are as follows:

Bits per second

9600

Data bits

Parity None

Stop bits

Flow control

Xon/Xoff

5. Plug the power supply in to the Remote and then into the AC wall outlet.

Allow the unit to complete the bootup sequence.

6. Wait a few seconds and the “Press ‘Enter’ to start the shell…” prompt is

displayed.

7. Press Enter. A password prompt is displayed if a password is set (there is no

default password).

If the Remote is running but you do not see these prompts the serial connection
between your computer and the unit may be at fault. You must correct this
problem before you can use the HyperTerminal connection successfully.

8. Type the unit’s password, if one was set, and press Enter. The Management

Console welcome screen is displayed

9. To ensure that you can see all the information displayed you must set the

screen size to 24 lines by 80 columns. The screen size is correctly set when
the Welcome screen is displayed with the ‘#’ border.
