Hardware Installation Guide Installing the SPR
10.5. Connecting to a PC for Serial
Configuration
To configure an SPR, you need to connect a PC running the WipLL WipConfig
configuration tool to the SPR. The SPR’s 15-pin D-type port also provides serial
interface to a PC for SPR initial configuration. This port uses 9 of its 15 pins for
serial interface; the remaining pins are used for interfacing with the SDA with which
the SPR remains connected. To connect the SPR to the management station (i.e.,
PC) and the SDA, a Y-cable (splitter) is used.
Note: SPR configuration is performed while the SPR is connected to the SDA.
The SPR-to-PC and SDA cable connections for SPR serial configuration are as
