Connecting the service interface
You can connect a PC or a terminal to the BPS 8 via the serial interface and configure the
BPS 8 through this connection. For this, you need a crossed RS 232 interconnection cable
(null modem cable) that provides the connections RxD, TxD and GND. A hardware hand-
shake via RTS, CTS is not supported at the service interface.
