Ip Address Setting; Serial Cable - GE SymNet1 User Manual

IP address setting

In order to use the SymNet1 correctly you must change the IP addresses from the defaults to ones that your
specific network will recognize. This requires a serial cable (provided) and a connection to a PC.

Serial cable

To make a serial connection, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 and do the following:
1. Orient the 20-way terminal connector with the 20-way socket side down and the keying ridge facing
away.
Note: If the serial cable is already connected to the terminal connector go directly to step 4.
2. Insert a small slotted screwdriver into pin 15 on the 3rd row down. Push the screwdriver until it
bottoms out. Insert the blue/white wire into pin 15.
3. Repeat step 2 with the blue wire in pin 16 and the orange/white wire in pin 20.
4. Clip the ferrite sleeve (provided) on to the serial cable.
5. Insert the connector into the I/O socket on the SymNet1 and insert the DB9-M end into the serial port
(COM1) of your PC.
