2.1.1 Setup the IP address from Console Port
The IP serial console offers user-friendly menu-driven user interface. User can simply connect a VT-100 terminal to the
console port to access to the unit. This is useful when you does not know the network settings of the server, and cannot
access to the server. In this case, you can view or change the settings (IP address, Subnet mask, etc) via the console port.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Connect the console port on the rear panel to a serial port on a PC host using the CAT5 cable and
the appropriate RJ45/DB9F adapter packaged with the IP serial console.
2. Confi gure a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, using the following settings:
Baud Rate = 115200, Data bits = 8, Stop bits = 1, Parity = none, Flow control = none
3. Enter the user name and password in order to access to the system.
User Name Default Password
root root
The following figure depicts the structure of the interface.
Network >
IP Confi g: The following shows the IP confi guration items.
1. For IP mode, you can press SPACE bar to select Static mode or DHCP mode.
2. For IP Address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS, and Secondary DNS you can change
these network settings.
3. After changing the settings, the fi nal enter, the unit will prompt to confi rm YES or NO.
If select YES, the IP serial console will reboot and save the settings into the Flash memory.
Current IP: To show the current network setting.
IP Filter: To enable/disable IP fi lter function.
System >
Reboot: To reboot the IP SERIAL CONSOLE SERVER
Reset to Default: To reset confi guration to Factory Default Settings. *Note: only the root user has the privilege to perform this function.
Status: To show the system status.

2.1.2 Setup the IP address from Ethernet port
In addition to VT100 interface, we also provide a Network Setup Software tool as below for the network
settings to the IP serial console.
The operation procedures are as follows:
1.
Run the software tool IP serial console IPCS_Setup.exe
2. Click Search Devices to find out the IP serial console devices on the network. After few seconds, the MAC addresses of found devices will show on Device MAC address field.
3. Select the MAC address on Device MAC address, then click Query Device to get the device configuration on the right pane.
4. If you want to change the settings. Enter the Super user name & password. Change the settings on the right pane. Then click Update Device. The new settings will be save to the IP serial console unit, then the unit will be reboot automatically.
Access IP serial console
Using the HTTP protocol and entering the confi gured IP address of IP serial console into the web browser
to remote access the IP serial console.
With successful connection to IP serial console, the login page will show as below, then key in the default user
name & password when connecting to the IP serial console unit, the IP serial console system (web server,
Telnet server or SSH server) will prompt user to enter the user name and password in order to access to the
system.
There are two levels of access privileges:
User Default Access
Name Password Privileges
root root Full access
(user define) (user define) Limit access to serial port
The administrator can add or remove a user easily via
the web pages of System administration.

2.1.3 Web Management Interface
The IP serial console supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) protocols. The user must authenticate themselves by logging into the system with a correct user name and password
To access the IP serial console Web management pages, enter the pre-set IP address or resolvable hostname into the web browser’s URL/Location field. This will direct the user to the login screen.
Figure below shows the user homepage of the Web management interface. A menu bar, provided on the left hand side of the screen. Selecting an item on the menu bar opens a tree view of all the submenus available under each grouping. Selecting a submenu item will allow the user to modify parameter settings for that item.
Every page will allow the user to Save to flash, Apply or Cancel their actions. To apply all changes made, the user must select Apply.
Only when the user selects Apply will the new parameter values be applied to the IP serial console configuration and go effective. But new settings are not saved to non-volatile memory (Flash) unless user clicks Save to flash button.
If the user does not want to save the new parameter values, the user can click Cancel. All changes made will be lost and the previous values restored.

User can do the network IP settings via V-100 or web pages. This chapter describes the usage of web pages. The default IP settings are as follows.
2.2.1 IP Configuration
The IP serial console requires a valid IP address to operate within the user’s network environment. If the IP address is not readily available, contact the system administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the IP serial console. Please note that the IP serial console requires a unique IP address to connect to the user’s network.
There are two types of IP assignments user can choose from:
■ Static IP
■ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
The IP serial console is initially defaulted to Static IP mode, with a static IP address of 192.168.0.1. *The onfiguration setting will not go into effect until clicking the button Save to flash & reboot.
2.2.2 SMTP Configuration
The IP serial console (IP SERIAL CONSOLE SERVER) can send an email notification when the number of system log messages reaches to certain value and/or when an alarm message is created due to an issue with serial port data.
The user must configure a valid SMTP server to send these automatically generated emails.
The “device mail address” must be registered to SMTP server.
The IP serial console supports two SMTP server types:
■ SMTP without authentication
■ SMTP with authentication
The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when selecting SMTP with Authentication.
Secondary SMTP configuration is also provided so that mail can be delivered even when the primary SMTP server fails.
Only when the primary SMTP server fails, the secondary SMTP server will be tried for mail delivery.
