2.5 Logger messages
All Q4000/QPRO modems have an RS-232 serial port called the Logger port. This port provides
system information so that users can monitor modem operations, and examine variables such as
satellite reception, signal strength and message status. The Logger port can be connected to any
terminal emulation program, such as Windows HyperTerminal, running on a PC.
Connect one of the PC’s terminal serial ports to the Logger serial port of the modem. If using a
serial port to USB connector, a Keyspan High-Speed USB to Serial Adapter is recommended.
Set the PC program’s parameters to the following settings:
Baud rate: 115200 bps
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
After setting up the terminal, power-up the modem with an appropriate DC power supply (12 V).
Readable ASCII text should begin to scroll down the screen and in some cases may continue
scrolling. If this has not occurred, either the serial port is not configured properly, is not
connected to the modem, or the log debug level may be set to zero.
