Serial Console (Debug Port)
The serial console gives users a convenient way of connecting to the RTU controllers. This method is
particularly useful when using the computer for the first time. The serial console is also effective for connecting
the Moxa RTU controllers when you do not know target network settings and IP addresses.
Step 1: To use the serial console, remove the cover from the front/top panel first.
