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.

Turn on the terminal.
