3.2 Operating Instructions
GROUNDING - This unit should always be grounded through the protective
earth lead of the power cable.
Before connecting AC power to this unit, the mains plug should be inserted
only into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The
protective action must not be negated by use of an extension cord (power
cable) without a protective conductor (grounding). Interruption of the
protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the unit), or disconnection
of the protective earth terminal can render this unit dangerous.
Initial Setup
To begin configuring MBE:
1. Connect MBE to an ASCII terminal or a PC terminal emulator.
2. Connect the CBL-RJ45/D9/F/6FT control cable, supplied with MBE, between
the RJ-45 control port on the MBE front panel, and the DB-9 connector on the
terminal.
3. Set the terminal to work at any baud rate from 4.8 to 19.2 kbps, No Parity,
8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
It is suggested to use 9.6 kbps.
For complete configuration details, see the LAN RANger Series Configuration
Guide.
