Using the Terminal Device
(e.g., Laptop Computer)
A terminal device can be used as an aid in installing, testing and troubleshooting the SKY497. The
terminal device must be connected to the RS-232 serial data TEST port (J7) located on the front of the
TRC497. TRC connector J7 is a female DB9 receptacle. A standard serial cable that has RXD (pin 2), TXD
(pin 3), and GND (pin 5) can be used. Any computer, with RS-232 terminal emulation software (e.g.,
Procomm
, HyperTerminal, etc.), may be used as the terminal device. To communicate with the TRC, the
RS-232 terminal device must be setup as follows, with no hardware or software handshaking being used.
