. . . . .
6. Select a Control Method — Control of the DGy can be through
either RS-232 serial or Ethernet connection. See
Appendix B
for details on establishing communication between a PC and the
DGy 201x.
~ Serial Control — To control DGy 201x using a terminal
emulation program (such as Hyperterminal or
Procomm), connect the COM port of the device to the
DGy 201x RS-232 Port. This enables DGy 201x control
through ASCII commands. For information on DGy
201x commands refer to the
Command Line Interface
chapter (page 85).
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 129).
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 on
page 131.
~ Ethernet Control — To control the DGy 201x over a
network, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN to the
DGy 201x’s 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet Port. This
method allows use of a Telnet session or a standard
web browser to access DGy 201x’s internal Web
Control Panel. Ethernet is also ideal for controlling
multiple DGy 201x recorders.
Note A PC can be connected directly to the DGy 201x
Ethernet Port without being connected to a network.
For this direct-connect method, use an Ethernet hub
or crossover cable. In
Appendix A, refer to the
Ethernet Connector section on page 128 for pinout
details.
