12. Controlling the Power Sockets via a Serial connection
The power sockets of the DX Power Switch-Standalone and the DX Power Switch-
Slave can be controlled using a simple ASCII protocol over an RS232 Serial
connection.
To control the power sockets via a Serial connection:
1. Connect the DX Power Switch-Standalone to a computer Serial port using the
RS232 Serial cable.
2. Run the Terminal program.
3. Configure the appropriate serial port with the following settings:
9.600 bauds, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
If you use the MicroTerminal program from the CD you only have to choose the
used Serial port, this program is already configured at 9600, n, 8, 1.
4. Press Enter until the prompt appears. The DX Power Switch-Standalone is in
Command mode (it is the default mode after Power up).
The power socket of the DX Power Switch can only be controlled if the DX Power
Switch is in Command mode and NOT in Configuration mode. If you are in
Configuration mode, type the command /RS to leave this mode.
The syntax of the command line is: Pxy=z
