Console Mode

In

Console Mode

the

Configuration Menu

can be accessed from a PC

by connecting its RS-232 serial port to the ESP901 serial port or
ESP902 Serial Port 1. Since the computer is a DTE device, and the
serial ports are configured as DTEs (with DB-9M connectors), a null
modem crossover cable must be used.

In

Console Mode

the default serial port settings are:

9600

baud,

8 data

bits

,

No parity

, and

1 stop bit

. From Windows, HyperTerminal with

VT100 terminal emulation can be used for
