How to get connected without any assigned IP to device?

Thu Oct 08, 2020 11:02 am

@SUPPORT: My new MT router/switch device (CRS328-24P-4S+RM) which I changed to use SwitchOS (old version 2.7) and set DHCP ONLY will not get an IP Address of my main router and so the IP address of the MT switch is now 0.0.0.0
I already reset the device but after reboot no changes in WinBox, same SwitchOS preconfigured with 2.7, I must connect to device to upgrade to SwOS 2.12 and make it accessible again

Questions:
- How to get connected to it, which possibilities have I?
- If the answer for above question is Console Cable, should also work with the current configuration with IP 0.0.0.0 to connect?
- Which client tool should I use to connect via Concolse Cable, any wiki steps?

Connect via the serial port with a console cable, set IP address, etc and then continue as per normal

WinBox can't connect to SwOS device, such device is only displayed on the list of discovered devices.
