RS232 MGMT Serial Port
The DE9 connector labeled RS232 MGMT provides a local serial connection to the
TimeProvider 500. Through this connection, a Command Line Interface (CLI)
provides configuration and status monitoring capability. The RS-232 serial port
connection is made through a DE9S female connector. This port allows you to
connect to a computer using terminal emulation software for remote monitoring and
control. When connecting to this port, use a shielded direct connect cable. See
Establish Serial Communication , on page 40 for default settings.
