If your MultiCom Firewall has a console interface you can access it using the included serial cable. This is useful if you do not have a computer in the default subnet of 10.x.x.x/8 but still want to communicate with the device.
The console properties are:
9600 baud
8 bits
no parity
1 stop
no control
You will need to use a terminal emulator like HyperTerminal in windows and also know which com port you are using on your computer.
Once you have connected correctly you should see the login prompt where you can enter the default username of "multicom" and no password. Enter in the command as shown below, changing the IP address and subnet to be the same as your computers.
| Code: | Firewall login: multicom
Password:
Config /: set interface ethernet LAN ip address=192.168.0.1 netmask=255.255.255.0
Config /: saveconfig current |
Immediately your LAN interface will be changed to the new IP address and you should be able to communicate with it from your computer's Ethernet interface. Because you saved to "current" a reboot will put the MultiCom Firewall back into the last "boot" configuration. Be sure to save the new configuration to the "boot" memory location when you have a configuration that you are happy with.
If you are unsure what the IP configuration of your computers are simply open a DOS prompt and enter "IPCONFIG": |
