4.1 Required Hardware
You can connect directly from your PC’s serial port to the serial port on the
gateway to view configuration information, perform maintenance, and send or
receive configuration files.
ProSoft Technology recommends the following minimum hardware to connect
your PC to the gateway:
80486 based processor (Pentium preferred)
1 megabyte of memory
At least one UART hardware-based serial communications port available.
USB-based virtual UART systems (USB to serial port adapters) often do not
function reliably, especially during binary file transfers, such as when
uploading/downloading configuration files or gateway firmware upgrades.
