5. Software Configuration
You need to configure the RangeLAN2 Ethernet Adapter using
the software menus if any of the following conditions apply:
❑ You want to set Security IDs on your network or your
existing network uses a Security ID.
❑ You want to set the Domain number to a value between
10 and 15.
❑ You want to assign the Ethernet Adapter an IP address.
❑ You need to change any of the software default values.
In order to configure an Ethernet Adapter, you need a terminal or
terminal emulation program, such as Hyperterminal or
Quarterdeck’s Procomm Plus, to access the Ethernet Adapter
configuration menu. Hyperteminal is shipped with Microsoft
Windows 95.
Displaying the Configuration Menu
1. Attach one end of the straight-through RS-232 cable, in-
cluded in the product package, to the Ethernet Adapter and
the other end to a free serial port on your terminal or PC.
2. Configure the terminal or terminal emulation package to a
baud rate of 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and
no flow control.
3. Apply power to the Ethernet Adapter. When the unit is
ready for operation, the letter “U” will be displayed on the
terminal screen. At any point while the Ethernet Adapter is
operational, press <Enter> to display the menu.
