cation accQcomConfigSetupV1.00.exe.
2.1.1 Configuration

Connect your PC to the accQcomm’s serial configuration port on
the front of the unit, or connect to the Ethernet port on the back,
and open the accQcomm configuration software.

of data.

new settings. The unit will be reinitiated with the new settings.

2.1.2 Connecting Without
Configuration
Software
Teledyne Isco recommends connecting to the accQcomm with the
configuration software provided. However, if you need to connect
to the accQcomm using a basic utility program, such as Hyper-
Terminal®, Table A-1 in Appendix A contains all accQcomm
commands and their definitions.
Connect your PC to the accQcomm’s serial configuration port on
the front of the unit (at 57,600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no
flow control), or Ethernet port on the back, and use keystrokes
CTRL + D.
Once connection is established, the accQcomm will return the
header [ENTERED CONTROL MODE], followed by the prompt,
?>.
All settings are programmable with this method, but commands
must be entered into the computer and saved to the unit’s flash
memory. After saving the new program with the SS command,
restart the accQcomm with the SR command. The new program
will be applied upon restart.
