19NetBotz Rack Monitor 200 Installation and Quick Configuration Manual
Control Console
You can use the control console—a text-based, menu-driven Rack Monitor 200 software interface—to
configure TCP/IP settings.
How to access the control console
Use a local computer that connects to the Rack Monitor 200 through the serial port on the front of the
unit to access the control console.
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the provided RS-232 configuration cable to connect the selected port to the RS-232 Console
Port on the front of the Rack Monitor 200.
3. Configure the serial port for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. For
example, with Windows XP follow the path Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative
Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager > Ports > Communications Port > Port
Settings. (The path will vary depending on your operating system.)
4. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal
®
) on your computer. For example, with
Windows XP follow the path Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications. (The path
