Statement 1028
Connecting the Controller’s Console Port
Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses
a VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip).
Follow these steps to connect the PC to the controller’s console port:
Step 1
Plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the controller’s console port and
the other end of the cable into the PC’s serial port.
Step 2
Start the PC’s terminal emulation program.
Step 3
Configure the terminal emulation program for the following parameters:
•
9600 baud
•
8 data bits
•
No flow control
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
Running the Bootup Script and Power-On Self Test
When you plug the controller into an AC power source, the bootup script initializes the system, verifies
the hardware configuration, loads its microcode into memory, verifies its operating system software
load, and initializes itself with its stored configurations. Before performing this test, you should have
connected your PC to the controller’s CLI console as described in the “Connecting the Controller’s
Console Port” section on page 10. Follow these steps to run the bootup script and conduct the
power-on self test (POST).
Step 1
Plug an AC power cord into the back of the controller and connect the other end to a
grounded 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical outlet.
