2. USE OF THE SERIAL‐BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT INTERFACE IS RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR ADVANCED
USERS. ALL OTHER USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE MCED‐100 WEB SERVER INTERFACE FOR MONITOR
AND CONTROL (M&C) OF THE MCED‐100.
Figure 5-1. MCED-100 Serial Interface Example
MCED‐100 Serial Remote Product Management is available through the EIA‐232 operational interface, where the ‘Controller’ device (the
user PC or an ASCII dumb terminal) is connected directly to the ‘Target’ device (the MCED‐100 Remote Router, via its DB‐9M ‘CONSOLE’
port). This connection makes possible serial remote monitor and control (M&C) of the MCED‐100 through its Serial Interface .
Through this EIA‐232 connection (for the control of a single device), data is transmitted in asynchronous serial form, using ASCII characters.
Control and status information is transmitted in packets of variable length in accordance with the structure and protocol defined later in
this chapter.
Access to the Serial Interface is accomplished with a user‐supplied terminal emulator program such as Tera Term or HyperTerminal. Use
this utility program to first configure serial port communication and terminal display operation:
• 38400 bps (Baud Rate) • 8 Data Bits • 1 Stop Bit • Parity = NO
• Port Flow Control = NONE • Display New line Rx/Tx: CR • Local Echo = ON
