1. Assign a static IP address according to the local network.
2. Congure the subnet mask according to the local network.
3. Congure the IP address of the computer connected to Internet according to the
local network.
4. Assign IP Address
4. Assign IP Address
MCS Serial IP Adapter
Example of an IP address assignation:
1. We assigned to the adapter the static IP address 192.168.1.1.
2. We chose an unused IP address by a computer connected to this network =
192.168.1.11 IP address
3. We congured the subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
4. We congured the IP address of the computer connected to Internet =
192.168.1.111.
5. We chose command:
> set ip static 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.111
6. To verify that IP conguration is correct, we typed:
> get ip
IP_mode: static
IP_address: 192.168.1.11
Subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.111

5. Congure Serial Port
1. Keep the factory default settings.
2. Check this conguration with command:
> get serial
Baudrate: 9600
Data_bits: 8_bits
Stop_bits: 1_bit
Flow_control:None
DTR_option: Always_high
DSR_option: None
Interchar_timeout(ms): 50
Select the following parameters to congure the connection serie and the driving
of the MCS via the MCS BRS:
- baud rate = 9600
- data bits = 8
- parity = none
- stop bits = 1
- ow control = none.

4. Connect the series port of the adapter to the MCS BRS which is itself connected to
a MCS.
5.The adapter is connected to the network on the IP address dened before (see
chapter “4. Assign IP Address”). It drives the series port by protocol TCP/IP on the
6001 port.
