Unit Configuration
Connecting to Menu
The ERT-A2 unit configuration can be performed through several different ports such as USB,
Bluetooth, and RS232 serial. For initial provisioning of the unit, it is recommended to use the USB
port.
You will need a USB type A to type B cable to connect your laptop/computer to the ERT-A2 unit. This
is commonly used for peripheral devices such as printers/scanners and is available from ELPRO, part
number CBLUSB-ATOB.
To access the text-based configuration menu through USB or RS-232 you will need a serial terminal
emulator. There are a number of Terminal emulation programs available such as putty, Tera Term
or Realterm. Tera Term is quite a simple application to install and setup and is what we have used to
demonstrate below.
To setup a connection to the ERT-A2 using Tera Term by following these steps:
Goo

Tera Term
”
and download and install.
With the ERT-A2 connected and powered, connect the USB type A power to the PC and wait a
minute or two for the driver to install (only will have happen once). Then run Tera Term and you will
see the dialog box below. Select Serial connection.
If you do not see any available Ports, check your USB/Serial connections. When the USB is
connected to the PC the ERTA2 should power
“
PWR/OK
” LED
continuously indicating the unit is
awake and ready.
Tera Term will default its serial settings to 9600, n, 8, 1 as below. But if you need to change them,
do so through the Setup/Serial Port menu.
