 The MX8400 IP Address can only be set from the Serial Port (if you don't know the current IP Address). During the life of the MX8400 the serial port speed has changed from 19200 to 115200 (8,N,!), Ensure you set the correct speed in the terminal software (recommend Putty). The MX8400 IP Address can only be set from the Serial Port (if you don't know the current IP Address).

- +To be able to change the IP Address you need to use the <color red>Setip</color> command. This has also changed in format over the years, I can only show the current syntax here as I don't have an MX8400 with older code, but it is quite similar, and if you get it wrong the Mux does display the correct (but slightly confusing) syntax.

- +If you type <color red>setip</color> with no parameters, you will be prompted to use the correct syntax.

 +You can set the Data Port addresses in this way, but to be honest the best way is to add the Mux to nCompass and manage it from there.
