Using the Serial port

VIPER has an RJ-12 port on the right side for a single
serial port.

To use your serial port:
1. Shut down the VIPER according to the instructions in

“Shutting VIPER down” on page 33.

2. Make sure the serial device you will be connecting to it is

also off.

3. Connect a serial device to the RJ-12 connector and power

up VIPER and the serial device.
