QShell via Serial Connection
1.
Connect one end of the 9-pin null modem cable to serial port A and the other connector to the serial
port on your computer. Serial port A is located on the front of the QuVIS Encore to the right of the
power button.
2.
Start the terminal application on the PC. On a Windows
computer, HyperTerminal is installed as
part of the operating system and is a good choice.
3.
If this is your first time connecting to a QuVIS Encore or other QuVIS video server via the serial port,
you will likely need to create a connection profile for the terminal application.
The settings of the terminal program must match the serial settings of the QuVIS Encore. If you are
unsure of the current setting, navigate to the
SETUP – Serial
menu page to review the settings.
The factory default settings for the RS-232 serial port A are as follows:
•
Baud (bits per second) – 38400
•
Data bits – 8
•
Parity – None
•
Stop bits – 1
•
Flow control – None
4.
If everything is connected and configured properly, you can access the QShell command line by
pressing the ENTER (on PC) button. This will display a system prompt allowing you to enter
commands.
Example command prompt:
Volume:>
