Configuration by the Serial Console‎

Serial Port Server w/ Wi-Fi® (C30 - C32)

Another way to configure the device is via a serial console. C30 - C32 require a dedicated USB/UART converter connected to the USB micro-B connector on the front of the device (check our converters).

Procedure to enter serial console mode on C30 - C32

• Turn off the power of the device.
• Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
• Connect USB/UART converter to the PC.
• Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
• Short the FG and GND ports.
  
• Turn on the power.
• Wait until the ST indicator (orange LED) lights up (it should light up after red light - service mode).
• Open the the DI and GND ports.
  
• Login using user’s personal credentials or default login details.
• If the process is successful, configuration commands can be typed into the terminal.
  

Once this is done, log in using the default username and password, then change the network settings using "ipconfig" command.

Service mode

Procedure to enter service mode for C30 - C32 converters

• Turn off the power of the device.
• Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
• Connect the USB/UART converter to the PC.
• Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
• Short the DI and GND ports.
  
• Turn on the power.
• Wait until the ST indicator (red LED) lights up.
• Open the the DI and GND ports.
  
• If the process is successful, service commands can be typed into the terminal.

List of commands in the service mode

In the service mode, the “ipconfig” command can only show a last static IP address.

Factory reset

To restore default settings, type “defaults”. After that, user will be asked to type “default network” to reset the network settings as well. Then user will be informed if the process is successful.

Additional notes

In order to avoid issues like connecting to host, type “help” to get more information.

To get more details about every particular command, append “help” after each commands (example: "ipconfig help").
