Terminal Configuration Using a Serial Cable
Configuring the SV1115IPEXT 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 SV1115IPEXT, you can use any typical communication
software package (UNIX: tip, cu, kermit, minicom; Windows: HyperTerminal, kermit).
You can use either serial port on the SV1115IPEXT to access the terminal configuration
tool; your choice will dictate the type of cable you will use to make the connection. The
DTE Serial port on the front panel requires the use of a null modem serial cable. The
DCE Serial port on the rear panel requires the use of a straight through 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 (male if connecting to the DCE Serial port,
female if connecting to the DTE Serial port) to the SV1115IPEXT. Configure the terminal
software with “8N1” settings:
Connection speed: 115200 bps
No. of bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
