A PC with an available serial port. It should have terminal emulator software installed like
SecureCRT or PuTTY.

•

Serial cable provided with the device.

Procedure

Step 1

Connect the power cable but do not switch on the device.

Step 2

Connect the serial port to a PC with terminal emulator software.

 

 

Note

Do not connect a network cable to the MCU at this stage.

 

 

Step 3

Start the terminal emulation application on the PC.

Step 4

Set the communication settings in the terminal emulation application on the PC as follows:
