Accessing the Main Menus
Access Methods
There are several ways to access the configuration menu system on the Libra 5800. They are:
• Via Local PC RS 232 (Cable Required - 5 Pin DIN Connector)
• Via Telnet
• Via PDA RS-232 (Cable Required - 5 Pin DIN Connector - see note below
NOTE: When connecting to a PDA, a null modem or straight-through cable with a 5 pin DIN
connector is required. The Libra unit is configured as DCE so if the PDA is configured as DCE (most
typical), then a null modem cable is needed. If the PDA is configured as DTE then a straight-through
cable is needed.
