Network Configuration via Serial Port

Next to the keypad and 4-line information display, the front panel also contains a DB9 serial port
that can be used to communicate with SecureSync. The serial port connector is a standard DB9
female connector. Communication with the serial port can be performed using a terminal emulator
program (such as HyperTerminal or Procomm) using a pinned straight-thru standard DB9M to
DB9F serial cable.
The serial port can be used to make configuration changes (such as the network settings), retrieve
operational data (such as the GNSS receiver information) or to perform operational processes
(such as resetting the admin password).
The serial port is account and password protected. Login via the serial port using the same user
names and passwords as would be used to log into the SecureSync Web UI. Users with "admin-
istrative rights" can perform all available commands. Users with "user" permissions only can per-
form "get" commands that retrieve data, but cannot perform any "set" commands or change/reset
any passwords.
Refer to "Setting up a Terminal Emulator" on page 456 for more information on the serial port con-
nection, and "CLI Commands" on page 457 for a list and description of the available command line
(CLI) commands that can be issued.
