The following sections describe key operational features of the MCR unit and list configuration options
for them. Each major heading begins at the top of a new page. For this reason, large areas of white space
exist at the end of some sections. This is done to provide a clear delineation between major sections.
NOTE
The LAN port should be assigned IP addresses only if it is a routed interface (that is, not in a
bridge).
NOTE
The commands that follow in this section vary depending on the Orbit MCR options ordered.

Serial Interface
A serial cable (RJ45 cable with proper ETH to DB9 converter) may be used to connect to a COM port on
the unit to access the CLI. The default serial console settings are 115200 bps with 8N1 format. A mini-
USB-to-USB cable may also be used to connect to a Computer in case no serial port exists. If a mini-USB
connection is used, the computer must contain the appropriate device driver. A driver for serial operation
can be found on GE MDS website.
