Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable
Configuring the IP KVM switch using a serial cable is the best choice if you need to
preconfigure the unit before attaching it to a network, (i.e. when sending to a branch
office, customer site, etc). In general, the Web configuration is preferable because of
its intuitive interface and the fact that you do not have to be within close physical
proximity to perform the configuration. However, if you wish to use the serial cable
method to configure the IP KVM switch, you can use any typical communication
software package (UNIX: tip, cu, kermit, minicom; Windows: HyperTerminal, kermit).
You can use the serial port on the SVxx41HDIE to access the terminal configuration
tool; to do so, you will require a null modem serial cable. Connect a female end of a
serial cable to the serial port used for serial access on the host computer. Connect the
opposite end to the SVxx41HDIE. Configure the terminal software with “8N1” settings:
Connection speed: 115200 bps
No. of bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
