Using the RS-232 Serial Console (115200, None, 8, 1,
VT100)
NOTE
Connection Caution!
1. You cannot connect to EDS simultaneously through the serial console and via Telnet.
2. You can connect to EDS simultaneously by web browser and serial console, or by web browser
and via Telnet.
3. However, we recommend that when connecting to EDS by web browser, you do not
simultaneously connect by either serial console or via Telnet.
By following this advice, you can maintain better control over how your MOXA EtherDevice
Switch is managed.
NOTE
We recommend using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of charge
from Moxa’s website. After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, take the following steps to access
the RS-232 Console utility.
NOTE
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).
1. From the Windows desktop, click on Start " Programs " PCommLite2.5 " Terminal
Emulator.
2. Select Open under Port Manager to open a new connection.
