S.CON1M TX/FX Managed Converter

Managing with a terminal
The second way for managing your S.CON1M media converter is by using a terminal
emulation. In order to do this you will need a PC (or a terminal) with a terminal
emulation program (such as ‘Hyper Terminal’).
Connect the supplied serial cable between the converter (miniDIN side) and a serial
port on the PC with the terminal emulation (on the DB9 side). Start the emulation
program and reset the device (recommended).
After system initialization you will get to the
device’s main menu
(figure 7).
The header of the main menu contains details regarding the software version, the
device
vendor and the model.
