Software Configuration
Local Connection
Connect a PC running terminal emulation software to
COM1 on back of the Net Dog (Fig. 7). Set your serial
port to match the data rate and word format currently
defined for the Net Dog’s COM1 (factory default is
9600, n, 8, 1). Connect to the Net Dog and enter
‘DPSCFG’ to activate the configuration menu.
Remote Connection (Dial Up)
Set up a PC running TTY terminal emulation soft-
ware to dial the Net Dog’s modem. When a connection
is established (sometimes accompanied by receipt of a
hex byte), enter ‘DPSCFG’ to activate the configuration
menu.
LAN Connection
In order to utilize the 10BaseT port on the Net Dog,
it must first be pre-provisioned using a remote terminal
(either dial up through the modem or directly connected
to Com 1). The LAN minimum configuration requires
setting the unit address (IP) and the subnet mask. Use of
a WAN requires that the default gateway be set.
