Serial Port Advanced Operations (For Xplu, Xpdu And Lci Modules) - CYBEX XP4040 Installer/User Manual

Serial Port
Advanced
Operations
(for XPLU,
XPDU and LCI
modules)
Your XP4000 Series unit has a serial port on the front panel that is available for
the connection of a printer or similar device at the local workstation. This port
can also be used to obtain a configuration report of your XP4000 system or to
download system enhancements and new product features that you have received
from Cybex. This section covers these advanced applications of the serial port
and how you may utilize them through the XPLU or LCI modules of your
XP4000 system. If you have XPRB modules in your system, see the next
section, "Serial Port Advanced Operations (for XPRB Modules)."
The following procedures can be accomplished in one of two ways. If one of
your attached computers has a serial port and terminal emulation software, you
may run the configuration/upgrade procedures from this machine. If none of the
attached computers in your XP4000 system meet these requirements, then you
must have use of a computer not currently attached to your XP4000 system with
terminal emulation software and a serial port. A null modem (cross over) cable
will also be needed with this setup.
If you are working with a computer in the XP4000 system, make this the active
channel now. Otherwise, connect the null modem cable between the serial port
of your unattached computer and the serial port on the front panel of the XP4000
Series unit. Run your terminal emulation software as usual. Adjust your setup
to the following:
1200 - 19200 (except 14400) Baud,N,8,1
Enter the hotkey sequence below that applies to your configuration.
