5.4 Connect to Awarepoint Appliance’s Serial Interface
If you have a keyboard and monitor connected to the Awarepoint Appliance, go to the
next section.
1. Start the Appliance, and after it has booted (approx. 5-10 minutes) connect a
serial cable with null modem adapter between the Appliance and the computer
you will use to configure the Appliance (normally your laptop computer).
2. Open a terminal program (e.g. TeraTerm) and set the serial port on your
computer to:
▪ Baud: 38,400 baud
▪ Data Bits: 8
▪ Parity: None
▪ Stop Bits: 1
▪ Flow control: None
To do this in Tera Term, choose Setup: Serial Port and adjust the settings
appropriately for the port on your computer.
Note: the Port setting in the image below may be different, depending upon your
computer.
