Configuration

In line with the versatility of the LinkNet

LNKF800 module in the field, either with a Personal Computer (PC) or via the

optional Control Module. To use a PC it is necessary to have a Kaval

CAB000000057 Control Cable to connect between the appropriate Module's DB15

connector on the back of the Card-Cage and the standard DB9 RS232 Connector on

the PC. On the PC a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal is used to

communicate to the LinkNet Module. The settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity,

and 1 stop bit. Commands are one or two words followed by pressing Return.
