AirPro Gold can be configured through a command line interface
running on a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program).
Before connecting the terminal to a AirPro Gold unit, configure the
terminal with the following settings:
• Baud rate = 115200 bps
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = None
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = Hardware
If you are using a PC or laptop computer, refer to the operating system
documentation for instructions on how to configure and run the terminal
emulation program.
To set up a basic unit configuration using the command line interface:
1
Remove the unit from the shipping carton.
2
Remove the switch plate from the front of the unit. See Figure 3-4 on page 3-5.
3
Make sure ALL the DIP switches are in the OFF position. This is the
manufacturing default.
• To set the switch to the OFF position, push the switch down toward the bottom
of the unit.
4
Connect the terminal or PC to the RS232 port on the front of the unit. See
Figure 3-5 on page 3-7.
• Use a crossover (null modem) cable with a DB-9 male connector on one end to
connect to the unit, and an appropriate connector at the computer end.
