Connecting to the Max 410 through a Serial
Cable
This section explains how to connect to the Max and
obtain its DHCP IP address. The remaining configuration
tasks can then be completed more easily via the Max Web
Manager.
NOTE: For the Max 410 units, LAN settings
can only be configured using this method.
Using the HyperTerminal Emulation Program
For this procedure you will need a standard serial cable
(D-sub 9-pin, male-to-female, straight-through connection)
as shown in Figure 5, and a PC running the
HyperTerminal terminal-emulator program (or an
equivalent), which is included with Microsoft operating
systems. It is usually found in the Programs menu, under
Accessories.

1. With the power to the Max 410 turned OFF,
connect the cable from the unit’s serial port to

PC’s serial ports you are using.
2. Launch HyperTerminal and set up a new
connection.

port, and set the serial communication
