Getting Started

Serial Port

TrangoLINK-10 Master Units and remote Units
feature a serial port. The serial port is useful in the
event that the radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP
(HTTP or Telnet). A Terminal Emulation program
(such as HyperTerminal on the Windows operating
system) can be used to access the radio's CLI using
the radio's serial port, which is located behind the RJ-
11 access cover on the bottom of the radio. A serial
programming cable has been provided with each
TrangoLINK-10 for this purpose. To terminate a CLI
session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout.
Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands.
Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a
particular command.
