4.3.1 Connecting to the CLI via RS232

This section describes how to access the CLI via the RS232 protocol using the

Microsoft Windows based HyperTerminal application. The setup using a different

terminal emulation application is likely to be very similar.

The serial port on the HU is configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). When the

HU is directly connected to the serial port of a computer (which is another DTE), a null

modem has to be used. Follow these steps to establish a RS232 connection:

o Connect your laptop/PC via the null modem cable to the hub unit.

o Run HyperTerminal. This

application can be found
