Configuring the xmax bsn-250
Upon initial installation, the base station must be configured manually to work with the network. This section
describes how to connect to the base station and use the base station’s command line interface to perform
initial configuration of the Ethernet network interface and the serial interface. After performing these steps,
the base station provides a Web-based interface that is used to finish configuration of network, make cable
and channel settings, and to make adjustments for optimal performance.
A serial port on the front of the control unit allows for connection to a VT100-compatible terminal or other
device through any terminal emulator that supports VT100 terminals. To connect to the base station:
With the base station ON or OFF, connect the serial cable to the VT100-compatible terminal or other
device.
