DECrepeater 900GM Installation and Configuration
Configuring the Module
Setup Port Description
The setup port (on the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or the DEChub ONE docking
station) allows you to access and set DECrepeater 900GM 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 DEChub
ONE docking station setup 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.
Setup Port Device Cabling
The setup port on the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or the DEChub ONE docking station
can be connected to a setup port device (a terminal or personal computer), using the
