Testing procedure
It is suggested that a PowerTALK unit or system is laboratory tested prior to shipping to site.
A simple, but effective test is described below:
Using the default settings on the PowerTALK unit, i.e.: 9600 8N1, with the standard IP addresses,
as are indicated on the back of the units.
1.
Power
up
2
PowerTALK
units,
confirming that the green “ON” LEDs
are on
2.
Connect a Server Flylead (Crossed
over UTP lead) between the
two
PowerTALK units
3.
Connect a loopback connector to port 1
or 2 on a PowerTALK 101 unit
4.
Connect a Laplink cable between the
other PowerTALK unit, and the PC
COM2.
5.
Run HyperTerminal on Windows 95/NT
6.
Set HyperTerminal to COMn where
COMn is your available COM port
7.
