Quick Start: How to Connect to the BVM 48
8
Most users find it easiest to give the unit an IP address, subnet and gateway through the front craft port
(TTY interface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you reboot the unit, you can access it over
LAN to do the rest of your databasing via the Web Browser interface.
Alternative option:
You can skip
the TTY interface by using a LAN crossover cable directly from your PC to the BVM 48 and access its
Web Browser.
...via Craft Port (using TTY Interface)

1. The simplest way to connect to the BVM 48 is over a physical cable connection between your
PC's COM port and the unit's craft port.
Note:
You must be connected via craft port or Telnet to
use the TTY interface. Make sure you are using the straight through (1 to 1) Male to Female DB9-
DB9 download cable provided with your BVM 48. HyperTerminal is used to connect to the unit in
the following example, but most terminal-emulating programs should work.
2. To access HyperTerminal using Windows: Click on the
Start
menu
>
select
Programs
>
Accessories
>
Communications
>
HyperTerminal.
3. At the Connection Description screen, enter a
name and choose an icon for this connection
(optional). These do not affect your ability to
connect to the unit.
4. At the Connect To screen, select Com port
you'll be using from the drop down and click OK.
(COM1 is the most commonly used.)
