Console Mode
In
Console Mode
the
Configuration Menu
can be accessed from a PC by
connecting its RS-232 serial port to the ESR901 serial port or ESR902/904
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
Console Mode
configuration.

In
RS-232 Mode
the currently selected serial port is configured as an RS-232
interface supporting eight RS-232 signal lines plus Signal Ground and is
configured as a DTE, like a computer. Signals are single ended and
referenced to Ground. To use handshaking, Flow Control must be set to
RTS/CTS during configuration.
