Chapter 5: Getting Started: Command Line Interface (CLI)
Serial Port Connection
When the
Tenor DX
is first shipped to you, you must connect to the unit using this method to assign an IP
address. Once this is assigned, you can use the CLI to reach the serial port of the Tenor. A null-modem cable
must be used to connect to the CLI using this port, if you are directly connected to the unit. To connect to the
Tenor DX
serial port, locate a workstation (PC) close to the
Tenor DX
unit. Connect as follows:
1. Insert one end of the DB-9 serial null modem cable into the
Tenor DX
’s serial port.
2. Insert the other end of the DB-9 serial cable into your workstation’s Com/serial port.
Once the cable is connected and the
Tenor DX
is powered on, open a
HyperTerminal
session (or other termi-
nal emulation program) as follows:
3. Click
Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal
. The
HyperTerminal
window
will be displayed.
4. Click on
Hypertrm
.
5. Enter a connection description (i.e., name for each unit such as
Tenor DX
1
).
6. Click
Ok.
7. Choose a connection port (on your PC) from the
Connect Using
drop down list box (i.e., Direct to Com 1).
Click
Ok.
The
Com 1 properties
window will be displayed.
8. From the
Bit Per Second
drop down list box, choose 38400.
9. From the

11. From the
Stop bits
drop down list box, choose 1.
12. From the
