Configuring the Module
Setup Port Description
The setup port on the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or on the module’s front-panel serial
port (when the module is operating as a standalone unit or in a DEChub 90) allows
you to access and set DECrepeater 90TS parameters. This section describes how to
access the module from either port and set those parameters.
NOTE:
The setup port screen displays illustrated in this manual
may vary slightly from the actual screen displays on your
setup port device.
The signals from the DEChub 900 Hub Manager setup port and from the
DECrepeater 90TS front-panel serial port conform to the EIA-232D signaling
standard at 9600 baud. To the user, the port appears as a data terminal equipment
(DTE) device.
NOTE:
Devices that use the EIA-423 signaling standard are
compatible with the DEChub 900 Hub Manager setup
port and the DECrepeater 90TS front-panel serial port.
Setup Port Device Cabling
The front-panel serial port on the module or the Hub Manager setup port on the
DEChub 900 can be connected to a setup port device (a terminal or personal
computer), using the following cables and adapters (not included in the shipping kit).
