If you set both ports to network hardwire and turn off security with the
proper null modem cable it should come right up. Something like this on
the pm3:

set c0 network hardwire
set c0 speed 115200
set c0 speed 2 115200
set c0 speed 3 115200
set c0 security off
set c0 address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
set c0 destination 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
save all
res c0

Use basically the same thing on the IRX but substitute s0 and swap the
address and destination lines. For more performance you might be able to
make the speed lines go to 230400 although this is not documented.

The internal 10.0.0.0 hosts would not be routable unless you use NAT to
translate them and I don't believe NAT is available on the IRX yet.

Doug Ingraham I have a simple philosophy:

USA Empty what's full.
