functions via the Console Port. For connection to the HomePNA Switch via the
console port, you must use
DB-9 to Serial DB-9 cable (not included)
. Connect
the Console port on the unit to PC COM port using the
DB-9 to Serial DB-9
cable
. These cables have custom pin out assignments, and the use of other
cables or converters may cause damage or malfunction to the equipment.
Once you have connected the module to your console port, start any
terminal program, such as HyperTerminal by Hilgraeve® Software in
Windows® 98. Once you have started your terminal application, you will need
to set the terminal with the following settings:
Also note that this switch can be used with a dumb terminal that has a
DB-9 serial type port installed. If using a dumb terminal, set the DIP switches
on the terminal to the appropriate settings as listed above.
Now that you are logged into the switch, proceed to the next chapter for
