connector to the next IRIG device in the IRIG loop if you are
cascading IRIG to other devices.
5. Select a Control Method — either via an RS-232 serial
connection or via an Ethernet connection:
~ Serial Control — To control DGy 201 using a terminal
emulation program (such as Hyperterminal or
Procomm), connect the COM port of your computer (or
other terminal control device) to the DGy 201 RS-232
Port. This enables you to control the DGy 201 using
ASCII commands. For information on DGy 201
commands refer to the
Command Line Interface
chapter (page 86).
~ A straight through cable (typically 9-pin male to female
with one-to-one wiring) is required. For information on
RS-232 connection parameters refer to the “
RS-232
Connector” section in Appendix A (page 137).
~ Launch Hyperterminal or other terminal emulator
software and set the communication parameters to:
• 115,200 Baud
• 8 Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• No Parity
• XON/XOFF Flow Control
~ For information on setting up a Hyperterminal see
Appendix B, “Launching a Hyperterminal Window”
(page 139).
~ Ethernet Control — To control the DGy 201 over a
network, connect an Ethernet cable (from your LAN,
Ethernet hub or switch) to the DGy 201’s 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet Port. This method allows you to use a Telnet
session or a standard web browser to access DGy
201’s internal Web Control Panel (GUI). Ethernet is
also ideal for controlling multiple DGy 201 devices.
Note A PC can be connected directly to the DGy 201’s
Ethernet Port, without being connected to a network.
For this “direct connect” method, use an inexpensive
Ethernet hub or an Ethernet crossover cable. In
Appendix A, refer to the “Ethernet Connector”
section ( page 136 ) for pinout details.
