RS-232 Operation
Overview
The CM1164’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows system
control through a high-end controller or PC. RS-232 serial operations in a
CM1164 installation are managed via HyperTerminal sessions on systems that
are running Windows. In order to use this feature to send commands to the
CM1164, you must first download and install a HyperTerminal application.
For more detailed instructions and information about each of the commands
provided in this manual, please refer to the original CM1164 user manual.
Setup
Install a HyperTerminal application on a computer that is not part of the
CM1164 setup, which will be connected and used to control the CM1164 via
RS-232. HyperTerminal applications can be download from the internet, and
many operating systems are embedded with HyperTerminal applications.
Hardware Connection
Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial adapter (SA0141) to connect the computer’s serial
port to the DCC In port of the CM1164, as shown below:
