Chapter 4: SETUP SOFTWARE
Introduction
The 232BSS4 comes with simple setup software for configuring the
switch. The software can be run on any PC compatible computer running
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP or Vista operating system.
Once the switch is configured, all parameters are saved in non-volatile
memory so the switch can be powered down and used anywhere without
the loss of configuration data. Configurations can also be saved to a file for
setting up more than one switch to the same configuration.
Connection
A serial (COM) port of the computer should be connected to the
Master port of the 232BSS4. If the computer's serial port is a 25 pin D-sub,
a straight through connection cable is required. If the computer's serial port
is a 9-pin D-sub, the cable should be an XT to AT adapter cable such as
B&B's model 232CAM, or a cable that would normally be used with a
modem. See Appendix B for a complete set of connection tables to the
232BSS4 ports.
Remove the screws (4) on the bottom of the 232BSS4 with a Phillips
screwdriver. Remove the top cover. Install the setup jumper marked JP1.
See Figure 4.1 for a diagram of the PCBD. Power up the 232BSS4 with the
setup jumper installed to put the switch in setup mode. The setup software
can not recognize the switch if the setup jumper is not installed or if the
jumper is installed after the unit is powered up. Remove the setup jumper
when configuration is complete to put the 232BSS4 in normal operating
mode.
