Hardware Installation
2-3
You may also remotely enable console mode by connecting remotely to the
Serial Server via WebXAdmin, TELNET, NCP, or XConfig (refer to
Chapter 3 for information on how to use these utilities). With WebXAdmin,
select
Configure Port
from the main menu, click on serial port S1 (for
single-port models) or port S2 (for two-port models), select
Console Mode
,
and click
Submit
. With TELNET or XCONFIG, use the following
command:
SET PORT
serialport
CONSOLE ENABLED
where
serialport
is S1 for single-port models or S2 for two-port models.
You can remotely restore the port to normal serial operation by unselecting
Console Mode
from WebXAdmin or by using the console command
SET
PORT
serialport
CONSOLE DISABLED
.
The serial ports are factory set at 9600bps, 8-bit data, XON/XOFF flow
control, and no parity. If your printer requires different settings, you must
use WebXAdmin or a console terminal connected to port S1 as described in
the previous paragraph. With WebXAdmin, select
Configure Port
from
the main menu, click on the serial port (S1 for first serial port or S2 for the
second serial port, if present), choose the desired settings, and click
Submit
. With the console terminal, use one or more of the following
commands (use S2 instead of S1 if you are using the second serial port):
SET PORT S1 SPEED
baudrate
SET PORT S1 PARITY
parity_type
SET PORT S1 FLOW
flowctrl
SET PORT S1 CHARACTER
charsize
Note that the serial port always operates at 9600bps when in console mode.
Don't forget to set the serial port settings on your printer or other device to
match the settings of the Serial Server.
Ethernet Installation
The Serial Server
connects to a 10baseT unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
Ethernet network. To do this, you will need an Ethernet hub (with at least
one unused port installed on your network) and an appropriate length of
RJ45 modular cable is needed.
Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the Serial Server connector labeled
"10baseT” and the other end to a port on the twisted pair Ethernet hub
