NOTE Connection Caution!

2. You can connect to the EDS using a web browser and serial console simultaneously, or using
a web browser and Telnet simultaneously.
3. Recommendation—when connecting to the EDS using a web browser, do NOT
simultaneously connect using either a serial console or by Telnet.
By following this advice, you can maintain better control over how your Moxa EtherDevice
Switch is managed.
NOTE We recommend using Moxa PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of
charge from Moxa’s website.
Before running PComm Terminal Emulator, use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to
connect the EDS’s RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port (generally COM1 or COM2,
depending on how your system is set up).
After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, do the following to access the RS-232 Console
utility.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start Æ Programs Æ PCommLite2.5 Æ Terminal
Emulator.
2. Select Open under Port Manager to open a new connection.
