CONFIGURATION USING A TERMINAL PROGRAM
Using a terminal program (for example, the Windows application HyperTerminal) on a computer connected to the RS232/422/485 port on the
NET300 provides limited configuration and control capabilities.
Do the following:
1. In the terminal program on your PC, ensure that the PC’s COM port is set up properly (default properties are 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1
stop bit, and no flow control) and that the local terminal echo is disabled.
2. Isolate the NET300 from the network.
3. Connect the RS232/422/485 port on the NET300 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. (Press Enter if the prompt does not appear
automatically.) 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 NET300.
The following shows a typical session.
TYPICAL SESSION
The terminal program main menu appears in the terminal window as shown below.
‘v’ video
‘i’ IP
‘r’ RCP+
‘m’ misc
‘?’ This Menu
‘q’ exit/logout
If you are using the terminal to set up the unit’s IP address, just type i and then i again. You are prompted to enter a new IP address. Do so and
press Enter.
If you want to establish a live video connection to a remote unit, you have to specify the remote IP address by typing r and then entering the
remote IP address.
To establish a connection, go to the main menu, then type r, then type e, and then select either video 1 or video 2. To disconnect, type 2 in the
same menu.
NOTE: You cannot use backspace during a terminal session—if you mistype a character, end your entry by pressing Enter and try again. If
you see duplicate characters on any entry, the “local echo” feature of your PC’s terminal program is not disabled.
