Serial Port Access
To configure the unit through a serial connection:
1. Connect a console terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program to your
unit's serial port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity,
1 stop bit, no flow control.
2. Reset the WiPort unit by cycling the unit's power (turning the power off and back
on). Immediately upon resetting the device, enter three lowercase x characters
(xxx).
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at
the terminal (or emulation) while resetting the unit. This must be done
within three seconds of resetting the WiPort.
