RS-232 Operation

Overview

The CS19208 / CS19216's built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface
allows system control through a high-end controller or PC. RS-232 serial
operations in a CS19208 / CS19216 installation are managed via
HyperTerminal sessions on systems that are running Windows. In order to use
this feature to send commands to the CS19208 / CS19216, you must first
download and install a HyperTerminal application.

Setup

Install a HyperTerminal application on a computer that is not part of the
installation, which will be used to control the switch via the RS-232
connection. HyperTerminal applications can be download from the Internet,
and many operating systems are embedded with HyperTerminal applications.

Hardware Connection

computer's serial port to the Firmware Upgrade Port on the CS19208 /
CS19216's front panel, as shown below:
