6. Connecting to the terminal
Connecting to the terminal's setup port
You can configure basic terminal settings by connecting to the terminal using the Setup cable. This
can be useful if you need to confirm the terminal's IP address, for example.
You can password-protect the setup menu to prevent unauthorized users from modifying terminal
settings.
A straight RJ-45 connection cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter is provided with each terminal.
1. Plug the DB-9 into serial port of the PC.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connection cable into the adaptor as shown below:
3. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 connection cable into the SETUP port of the terminal.
Note: Connecting the PC serial port to the Interface Cards or ALARM connectors may result in
damage to the PC or terminal.
Ensure that the RJ-45 connection cable is connected to the RJ-45 connector marked 'SETUP'.
Cable pinouts (RJ-45 to DB-9)
