NOTE
We recommend using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of
charge from Moxa’s website.
Before running PComm Terminal Emulator, use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to
connect MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port (generally
COM1 or COM2, depending on how your system is set up).
After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, do the following to access the RS-232 Console
utility.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start Æ Programs Æ PCommLite2.5 Æ Terminal
Emulator.
2. Select Open under Port Manager to open a new connection.
