Chapter 4 Quick Start

The FMUX01A/Plus control interface provides two modes of operation. First, a serial console port, for local

provisioning; and second, a LAN port for remote provisioning of the system.

4.1 Console Port

Prerequisites :

Any PC running Windows 98/2000/XP can be used as a console. Use the supplied DB9F to RJ-45 RS-232

cable and connect the console port to the COM port of PC to be used as a terminal. Connect the RJ-45 to the

port on the face of the FMUX01A/Plus, labeled "Console".

Windows® HyperTerminal™ program has known issues when it comes to using function keys. If you use

HyperTerminal, only the function keys F1~F4 will operate properly. To avoid this problem, we strongly

recommend using other free terminal software, such as PuTTY or TeraTerm (search Google™).
