Wiring

Serial:
- Connect MC on COM1 via serial cable to your PC.

Setting up serial communication
Open Windows- Hypertherminal (or similar) communication software and set the parameters:
This means:
- Baud rate 11520
- Data bits 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
Connecting with motion controller
Once the communcation parameters are set and the serial cable is connected between MC and PC you should:
- turn on the MC
On the Hypertherminal screen you should see the boot printouts. After mc booting is completed type:
/sbin/ifconfig
You should get:
Instead 10.4.20.171 as above there will be the current IP address of your MC (it could be even not set at all)
== Set the new IP addres
Just type sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 90.0.0.51 and your MC will be get the new IP address
