The CRLVR may also be used if RJ45-RJ45 connection to local port is
established - that is, if you connect the local port of a Dominion SX
device as a serial target to another Dominion SX.
Port Settings
Ensure that the port settings (serial communication parameters) are
configured as follows:
 Data bits = 8
 Parity = None
 Stop bits =1
 Flow Control = None
