CONFIGURATION USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM
Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) on a computer connected to the COM2: RS232 socket on the
NET350’s rear panel provides limited configuration and control capabilities.
Do the following:
1. Ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly (default properties are 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, flow control none) and that
the local terminal echo is disabled.
2. Isolate the NET350 from the network.
3. Connect the COM2: RS232 socket on the NET350 to an unused serial port on the PC (null modem required).
4. After the connection is made, you will be prompted for the case-sensitive user name. The factory default is service.
5. All commands consist of single characters you type inside the terminal window. Enter only one command at a time and do not terminate
this input by pressing the Enter key. After entering a value (for example, an IP address), check the entered characters again and only then
press Enter to transmit the values to the NET350.
The following section shows a typical session.
