Connecting for local PC control and management
Overview The following drawing shows how to connect a PC to the S
TELLAR
in a local envi-
ronment.
To connect a PC to the
local connector
To enable local communication between the S
TELLAR
and a PC, do the following:
1. Connect the COM port of the PC to the local connector of the S
TELLAR
.
The local connector is placed on the front panel of the S
TELLAR
and is labelled
“CONTROL”. It is a 9-pin sub-D connector which connects to the RS-232 COM
port of the PC using a 9-way one-to-one RS-232 interface cable.
If your COM port connector does not have a 9-pin connector, you must first fit a
25-to-9-pin adapter to the COM port connector.
2. Configure the PC COM port in ROSA.
From the C
OPERNICUS
explorer, right-click on your COM port and select “Prop-
erties”. Select the “RCDS protocol” driver.
