Using the serial port
1.
Connect a cable from XstreamCORE RS-232 serial port to
the serial (COM) port on a personal computer.
2.
Turn on the XstreamCORE.
3.
Start a terminal emulation program on the personal
computer, and use it to connect to the XstreamCORE. For
example, if you are using HyperTerminal on a computer
running a Windows operating system,
Type XstreamCORE in the New Connection dialog
box.
Click OK.
In the Connect To dialog box, for the Connect using
field select the COM port number to which your
serial cable is connected.
Click OK.
In the COM Properties dialog box select the
following values:
Bits per second: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Terminal type: ASCII
Echo: on
Click OK.
4.
After you connect to the XstreamCORE, start-up
messages are displayed. These messages are only
displayed at start-up. The last line in the start-up
message sequence is Ready.
5.
In serial port sessions, there is no prompt on the line
below the word Ready. Begin typing commands in the
blank line where the cursor is resting. No user name or
password is required for serial port access.
6.
To verify that you have connected successfully, type help
after the Ready prompt and press Enter.
If a list of all available commands does not appear on the
screen, review the steps in this section, check the cable, or contact
service personnel until the problem is solved.
If you have difficulty using the serial port, verify that you
have the correct settings and that your serial cable is less then two
meters in length.
