Device Network and Serial Port Settings
As shown in the connection diagram, you can connect a PC or laptop with a RS-232 serial COM port directly to
the
Port 1
of PH232Ex1. You need to use a serial cross cable with two DB9 Female connectors on the both ends,
which connect at least pins 2 to 3, 3 to 2 and 5 to 5 of both sides.
Now run a terminal emulator on your computer. You can find some terminal emulators in the Utility folder in
the installation CD. For example, we use Microsoft Hyper Terminal. Run Hyperterm.exe and then from the
properties toolbar, set the serial settings to the 19200, 8, n, 1 like this:
Remember to set Flow Control to None. Now in the Properties dialog box, select settings tab and click on the
ASCII Setup. Select the “Echo typed characters locally” and press OK.
