Connecting and using with a Xpert/Xlite
Once the CSA has been configured using the appropriate CSA
configuration file, it is ready to be used with the Xpert/Xlite. Connect the
CSA either directly to COM 1, or through a null-modem adapter/cable to any of
the other COM ports
Powering the CSA
The AC power adapter must be used to supply power to the CSA when using
COM 1. This is because COM 1 does not provide power out pin 9.
The AC power adapter may be used on COM ports 2 and above if using a
standard null-modem adapter, this is because a standard null-modem adapter
does not pass pin 9 (power pin). To use the pin 9 for power, set the COM PORT
jumpers to p5 volts, then use the Sutron cable Part Number 6411-1567,
or a custom made cable (See APPENDIX B).
Using a PDA with Xterm
1.
Run the Bluetooth manager on the PDA.
2.
Browse Bluetooth devices and make sure you can see the CSA device.
3.
Go to the Bluetooth settings screen and scroll to the "Serial port"
4.
Note the "Outbound COM port".
5.
Run Xterm.
6.
Select the COM port as noted in step 4.
7.
Leave all other settings at default, and then click OK.
8.
Bluetooth Browser window will appear, select the CSA device.
That’s all there is to it! Now, Xterm will work just as if you were
connected directly to the Xpert/Xlite.
