In order to configure the unit via a serial cable connection, ensure that the unit is connected to a PC  (as outlined 

in Step 6 on page 11 of the Installation section).  Also, terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal or 

TeraTerm) will be required.

•  To view the current configuration settings, enter the command 

CONFIG C SHOW.

•  To save changes made to the unit, enter the command 

CONFIG 0 SAVE.

•  All entered commands will take effect immediately.

Step 1) Configure the following settings for the unit:
 

COM Port: [select the appropriate port; typically COM1]

 

Baud Rate: 11500

 

Data Bits: 8

 

Stop Bits: 1

 

Parity: No Parity

 

Flow Control: None

Step 2) Ensure the connection is active by entering the command AT. If the device is functioning properly, it 

will return the response OK.
Step 3) Confirm the correct PC COM port is in by entering the command ATI5, this will report the router 

firmware and hardware version.  The output should begin ‘Digi TransPort DR64’.

To configure the unit with an IP address as part of an existing network, use the commands below. 

Sets the Eth 0 IP address

Sets the Eth 0 subnet mask

As an example, to assign the IP address 192.168.10.254/24, the following commands would be entered:
ETH 0 IPADDR 192.168.10.254
ETH 0 MASK 255.255.255.0
Note:  When  setting  the  mask  to  the  above  255.255.255.0  value,  it  will  not  appear  in  the  output  of  the 

To stop the DHCP server from serving addresses, use the following command: 

Removes the minimum IP address that will be server via DHCP, 
disabling the DHCP server

As an example, to stop the DHCP sever from DHCP requests, enter the command 

DHCP 0 IPMIN !. The ! 

variable is used to remove a value or set it back to its default.

To retain the DHCP server, but on a different subnet, the following parameters will need to be configured:

Minimum IP address to assign, the start of the DHCP pool

The number of IP addresses in the DHCP pool

The IP gateway address the DHCP clients should use 
(normally this router’s LAN IP address)

The subnet mask DHCP clients should use

The DNS server DHCP clients should use
