Hi,
I am trying to config the IP address on a new cFP-1808 and cannot get it to appear in MAX. I have tried a number of things, including:
1) Disabled Windows firewall
2) Connected the 1808 to a small ethernet switch with just it and my PC on it, nothing else
3) Connected directly to the 1808 using a crossover cable
4) Connected to the serial interface and confirmed that the unit is not configured yet.
5) Installed MAX on a second PC and tried to connect, but could not (made sure Windows firewall was off)
6) used the "arp" command to set an IP address for the cFP-1808's MAC address on my PC and tried to ping that IP address. No luck.
At this point, I am at a loss to why I cannot "see" the cFP-1808 in MAX. I have tried opening up my subnet mask to a larger range, but that didn't help either. One question I have is can I set the IP address using the serial interface? I have not been able to get the 1808 to respond to serial interface commands. I am wondering what the handshake should be (Xon/Xoff, hardware, or none). I am using HyperTerm. I know I am connected to the unit correctly, because when I set the "Console Out" DIP switch, I see the boot information, but when the "Console Out" DIP switch is off, I can't get a response from the 1808 from any keyboard entry.
Help!
