Now that you have the IP address of the WiMicro, telnet to its configuration menu on port 9999,
just like you can with the XPort. You should see something like:

Configuring Baudrate

port (Channel 1). All that needs to change from the default is to change the baudrate to 57600.
Press 1, then Enter, and step through the configuration like this:
Baudrate (9600) ? 57600
I/F Mode (4C) ?
Flow (00) ?
Port No (10001) ?
ConnectMode (C0) ?
Auto increment source port (N) ?
