So you want to use this:

iface lan0 inet static
         address 192.168.111.187
         broadcast 192.168.111.191
         netmask 255.255.255.192
         network 192.168.111.128

for your PC? Great to know, just after 4 posts!

Yes, with these settings, you should be able to connect to the FSG if it 
has an address from the same sumnet, and that address is not 
192.168.111.187.

You can connect as many of these cables as long as you have free slots.

But I'm still not sure what you want to do.

FSG-3 doesn't have an easily accessible serial port (it has a 3.3V 
serial port which will only work with special cables; normal serial port 
uses 12V).
