if you do not have console cable, you may try to check management ip on lcd.

I believe it's under a "System" option. If you don't see any way to change or view the IP from the LCD, there's a good chance there's something wrong with this box. You'll want to connect a laptop to the serial console cable and open a terminal emulator (19200 8n1) to access the console. From there you should be able to, at the very least, see the IP address and run any necessary diagnostics.

"Null modem" is probably what you need.
