You can connect a PC or a terminal to the BPS 8 via the serial interface and configure the BPS 8 through
this connection. For this, you need a crossed RS 232 interconnection cable (null modem cable) that
provides the connections RxD, TxD and GND. A hardware handshake via RTS, CTS is not supported at
the service interface.
