4.1 Basic software
Upon delivery, the integrated flash drive of the device contains programs that ensure the
device’s readiness for use: the built-in FreeDOS operating system.
The latest versions of the documentation, BIOS and utilities can be downloaded from the
manufacturer's and distributor's ftp servers.
4.2 Establishing connection between PC and the device
To establish a connection between a personal computer (PC) and the device, you must:
1.
When powered off, connect the VTC-9F cable with the null-modem adapter to the
PC's COM port and the COM1 or COM2 connector of the device (by default, the COM1 port
is set as the console port).
2.
Install the terminal software suite supporting the data communications protocol
XMODEM/CRC (e.g., HYPERTERMINAL, TELEMAX, TERM90, TERM95, PUTTY), with the
parameters of serial line communication:
1. PC port (COM1 / COM2)
2. 8 bit data
3. 1 stop bit
4. No parity check
5. Data exchange rate 115,200 bit/sec.
3.
Turn on the power or press the RESET button if steps 1, 2 are not required and the
power is on. If the connection is successfully established after booting the operating system,
a DOS prompt line will appear on the PC screen:
C:>
4.
To boot the operating system without executing the commands of the
CONFIG.SYS
and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
files, after turning on the power or RESET, press the following key
combination <Ctrl-B> or <Ctrl-C> for the step-by-step execution of commands.
