4.1.1 Connecting Over the Serial Interface
Initial configuration A serial interface connection is the most appropriate method if you are config-
uring your X3200 for the first time. To connect X3200 to your PC over the serial
port, proceed as explained in chapter 3.1, page 32 .
Windows If you use a Windows PC, you need a terminal program for the serial connec-
tion, e.g. HyperTerminal.
To do

➧
BRICKware
➧
Device at COM1 (or Device at COM2 if you use the COM2 port of your
PC) to start HyperTerminal.
➤
Press Return (at least once) after the HyperTerminal window opens.
A window with the login prompt appears. You are now in the SNMP shell of
X3200.
➤

Make sure that HyperTerminal is also installed on the PC during the Windows
installation.
Note that HyperTerminal is not included in the standard installation of
Windows 98 and Windows ME.
If you use HyperTerminal under Windows 2000 or Windows ME, it is possible
that the cursor keys for navigation in the Setup Tool do not work. In this case,
use the tabulator key or Ctrl+P for moving forwards and Ctrl+N for navigation
backwards.
