Connecting to the ioThinx 4530 Controller
You will need to use a computer to connect to the ioThinx 4530 controller and to log in through the
command line interface. There are two ways to connect: through the serial console port or through the
Ethernet port. Refer to the ioThinx 4530 Series Hardware Manual to see how to set up the physical
connections.

Connecting Through the Serial Console
This method is particularly useful when using the computer for the first time. The signal is transmitted over
a direct serial connection so you do not need to know either of its two IP addresses in order to connect to

using the following settings.
Serial Console Port Settings
Baudrate 115200 bps
Parity None
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Flow control None

Below we show how to use the terminal software to connect to the ioThinx 4530 controller in a Linux
environment and in a Windows environment.
