2.2 Configuration
In line with the versatility of the LinkNet
TM
Platform, it is possible to reconfigure the LNKA module
in the field, either with a Personal Computer (PC) or via the optional Control Module. To use a PC
it is necessary to have a Powerwave CAB000000057 control cable to connect between the
appropriate module's DB15 connector on the back of the card-cage and the standard DB9 RS232
connector on the PC. On the PC a terminal emulation program such as
HyperTerminal
is used to
communicate to the LinkNet Module. The settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
