3. ROUTER CONFIGURATION USING THE CONFIGURATION SERIAL PORT
OR TELNET FACILITY
The XRF1 router frame controller has several settings that can be user configured. Settings such as matrix
size, RF gain mode, crosspoints, network and communication port settings are all accessed through the
frame controller configuration port.
3.1. CONNECTING TO THE FRAME CONTROLLER USING TELNET FACILITY
Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet port of the XRF1 on the rear panel to an Ethernet switch or
hub (or crossover cable from Ethernet port directly to network card of PC). Open a telnet session on a PC
that is on the same sub-network. The Main Menu will appear with selections as illustrated in section 3.3.
See section 4.5.1 to 4.5.4 for instructions on obtaining the IP address of the router.
3.2. CONNECTING TO THE FRAME CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION SERIAL PORT
Configuration of the router is performed through the configuration serial port labelled ‘UPGRADE1’ on the
breakout cable included with the XRF1. This cable should be connected to the DB15 “SERIAL I/O”
connector on the back of the XRF1. A PC with a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) is
used to communicate with the frame controller.
The steps for connecting a PC to the frame controller configuration serial port are listed below.
3.2.1. Terminal Program Configuration
Launch a suitable terminal emulation program (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal) and set it to
communicate through the appropriate RS232 serial port on the PC (usually COM1). Configure the serial
port settings of the terminal program as follows:
Baud 115200
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
3.2.2. Connecting the PC to the Frame Controller
Connect the computer to the cable labeled ‘UPGRADE1’ on the breakout cable connected to the DB15
“SERIAL I/O” female connector on the rear panel of the XRF1.
