8.7. Connecting to a PC for Serial Configuration
To configure an SPR, you need to connect a PC running the WipLL network
management system (WipConfig) to the SPR. The SPR’s 15-pin D-type port
provides serial interface to a PC for SPR initial configuration. This port uses 9 of its
15 pins for serial interface; the remaining pins are used for interfacing with the SDA
with which the SPR remains connected. To connect the SPR to the management
station (i.e., PC) and the SDA, a Y-cable (splitter) is used.
Note: SPR configuration is performed while the SDA is connected to the SPR.
The SPR-to-PC and SDA cable connections for SPR serial configuration are as
follows:
! Connectors:
! SPR: 15-pin D-type male (only 9-pins used)
! PC: 9-pin D-type (RS-232)
! SDA: 15-pin D-type male
! Cable: straight-through Y-cable
