Utility/Diagnostic Functions (continued)

RS-232 Communications Procedure:

1)

 Connect the 

RS-232

 port of the RAVE 522ua to an unused serial port (COM port) of a PC using a normal (straight-through) serial 

cable. 

2)

 Open the 

HyperTerminal 

program. This program is usually started by clicking the Windows 

Start

 icon, selecting 

Programs

, then 

Accessories

Communications

, and finally, highlighting the

 Hyper Terminal 

folder and clicking on its icon.

3)

 After starting 

Hyper Terminal

,

 a 

Connection Description 

window will pop-up. It will require that you name your connection. 

Enter a name for your new connection (example: 

RAVE 522ua

) and click

 

OK 

to continue.

4)

 Next, 

Hyper Terminal

 needs to know how to “talk” to the RAVE 522ua. This selection depends on which port on your PC the cable 

is connected to. Ignore the first three entry fields (phone number information) and go directly to the 

Connect using 

entry field and click 

on the down arrow for the drop-down menu selection. Select the port the RAVE 522ua is connected to and click 

OK

 to continue. The 

Properties 

window should appear next.

5) 

The 

Properties 

window for the selected 

COM 

port should now be active. For the Port Settings, use the following information so 

communication between the RAVE 522ua and the computer is in the same “language”.

Bits per Second: 

9600

Data Bits

: 8

Parity

: none

Stop Bits: 

1

Flow Control: 

Xon/Xoff

Once you have set the properties as outlined, click 

OK

 to continue. If all the connections and communications settings are correct, the 

main 

Hyper Terminal

 window will open.

6) 

The

 

Hyper Terminal

 

main window will appear next, but blank. Type the letter “h” (for help) and then the “Enter” key. This will 

prompt the RAVE 522ua to post its menu text. The “h” key is the Help prompt for the RAVE 522ua. A text menu will appear. This is sent 
by the RAVE 522ua and will detail your options and instructions for changing the address information. 

From this main-menu you will need to make your menu choices and follow the instructions in the following sub-menus or screens. 
Although many of the instructions and tests may not pertain to a specific setup or troubleshooting situation, you may be asked to run 
certain tests by a QSC technical representative. The results of these tests will help to troubleshoot any problems.

The most common user item that might require settings to be changed would be the IP address information. This would be useful if the 
IP address was inadvertently changed to an unrecognized address and subsequently you were unable to “talk” to the RAVE 522ua over 
the network. This situation would require the 

Display Network Settings

 and 

Enter Network Setup

 items to be accessed for re-

assigning a valid IP address.

IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT- ONLY REQUIRED FOR ATTACHING TO EXISTING NETWORKS! DO NOT CHANGE THE COM-
MUNICATIONS SETTINGS OF THE RAVE 522ua UNLESS CERTAIN OF YOUR ACTIONS. THE FACTORY-PROGRAMMED IP 
ADDRESS CAN BE ACCESSED USING THE FRONT PANEL DISPLAY MENU SYSTEM. RECORD THIS IP ADDRESS SHOULD 
YOU NEED TO RETURN TO THE INITIAL SETTINGS.
