The following instructions and screenshots show how to enter the serial console using PComm
Terminal Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite suite. You may use
a different terminal emulator utility, although your actual screens and procedures may vary slightly
from the following instructions.
1. Turn off the power to the NPort 6000. Use a serial cable to connect the NPort 6000’s serial
console port to your computer’s male RS-232 serial port.
ATTENTION
The NPort 6610/ 6650 has a dedicated serial console port. For all other NPort 6000 models, port 1
serves as the serial console port.
2. From the Windows desktop select Start Æ All Programs Æ PComm Lite Æ Terminal
Emulator.
3. The PComm Terminal Emulator window should appear. From the Port Manager menu, select
Open, or simply click the Open icon as shown below:
4. The Property window opens automatically. Select the Communication Parameter tab, then
select the appropriate COM port for the connection (COM1 in this example). Configure the
parameters for 19200, 8, N, 1 (19200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for
Stop Bits).
5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and
click OK.
