Connecting the PX to a Computer
To configure the PX using a computer, it must be connected to the
computer with an RS-232 serial interface.
PX3 Phase II models (zero U):
PX3 Phase I models (zero U):
If your computer does not have a serial RS-232 port, use a regular USB
cable to connect the PX to the computer for initial configuration. The PX
device can emulate a serial port after the USB-to-serial driver is properly
installed in the Windows
®
operating system.
Note: Not all serial-to-USB converters work properly with the PX device
so this section does not introduce the use of such converters.
Connect the PX to a computer for initial configuration by following either
of the procedures below.
To make a serial RS-232 connection:
 Connect one end of the null-modem cable to the male RS-232 port
labeled CONSOLE / MODEM on the PX, and the other end to the
serial port (COM) on a computer.
To make a USB connection:
1. A USB-to-serial driver is required in Windows
®
. Install this driver
before connecting the USB cable. See
Installing the USB-to-Serial
Driver (Optional)
(on page 19).
2. Connect a USB cable between the PX appliance's USB-B port and
the computer's USB-A port.
