Connecting to the Model 458-3SL
To communicate with the 458-3SL, launch a terminal emulator program such as Hyper Terminal.
Configure the connection within that program to use the COM port selected in the Redirector
program. Use the following standard settings:
Baud Rate: 9600bps*
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
*
Optional, see Selecting/Setting Baud Rate section that follows
Refer to section
4.0 RS-232/Ethernet Controls
for a list of the RS-232 commands available to control
the Model 458-3SL.
L
Only one connection at a time is allowed. If you receive a message in the terminal
emulator program that the COM port is not available, it may be the result of another
user accessing the unit. In addition, the user should ensure that the local port setting for
the transceiver is the same as the one entered during set of the virtual COM port. Refer
to the
Local Port Setting
section later in this chapter.
Using the Web Interface to Change Settings
The DeviceInstaller application provides a Web interface to select or change settings for the XPort.
To access the Web interface, do the following:
1. Launch the DeviceInstaller program. The DeviceInstaller control screen is displayed. Expand
the XPort device on the left side of the screen and click on the IP address for the device. The
right side of the screen changes to an interface with three tabs: Device Details, Web
Configuration and Telnet Configuration. Select the
Web Configuration
tab.
