DI-1162 Remote Access Router
14 Installation
Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between the
DI-1162 and the console and modems, please make sure all devices are
off to avoid any chance of damage.
Step 1 - Setting up the Console
The initial setup of the DI-1162, requires connecting a console to
the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic port on the router’s front panel. A
serial cable is supplied with the router in order to make this
connection. A console can be a terminal, such as a VT-100, or a
normal PC running terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft
HyperTerminal, included with Windows). The terminal emulation
software needs to be configured to the following parameters:
◊
VT100 terminal emulation
◊
9600 baud
◊
No parity, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit
◊
No flow control
Step 2 - Connecting the Console to the Router
A serial cable is included in the DI-1162 package. To connect this
cable, plug its nine-pin connector into the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic
port on the router’s front panel, then connect the other end to the serial
port on the rear of your computer or data terminal.
Please make sure both machines are turned off before making this
connection.
After the connection is made, first power on the console. If you are
using a PC, run the terminal emulation software at this time. After the
PC and the terminal emulation software are up and running, power on
the router.
