NOTE
1. You cannot connect to the VPort 251 simultaneously by serial console and Telnet.
2. You may connect to the VPort 251 simultaneously by web browser and serial console, or by
web browser and Telnet. However, we strongly recommend that you use only one connection
method at a time. This allows you to maintain better control over your VPort 251’s
configuration.
You can access the RS-232 console by using a terminal emulator on your PC. We recommend that
you use PComm Terminal Emulator, which is free and can be downloaded from Moxa’s website.
The following instructions explain how to use PComm to access the RS-232 console.
1. Use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to connect the VPort 251’s RS-232 console
port to a COM port on your PC.
