Quick Start: How to Connect to the Cell16

Most Cell16 users find it easiest to give the unit an IP address, subnet and gateway through the front craft port (TTY
interface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you reboot the unit, you can access it over LAN to do the rest
of your databasing via the Web Browser interface.
Alternative option: You can skip the TTY interface by using a LAN crossover cable directly from your PC to the
Cell16 and access its Web Browser. See Section 7.2.

...via Craft Port (using TTY Interface)

The simplest way to connect to the Cell16 is over a physical cable connection between your PC's
USB port and the unit's USB craft port. Note: You must be connected via craft port or Telnet to
use the TTY interface. Make sure you are using a standard A-B USB cable (this same cable is
commonly used for USB printers) to make a USB craft port connection. We'll be using
HyperTerminal to connect to the unit in the following example - however, most terminal-emulating
programs are also compatible.
Note: The following images display the setup process done in Windows XP.
The following steps will occur the first time any DPS USB equipment is used on this PC. If you've
used a different DPS USB device before and have installed the DPS USB drivers, then skip to Step
9.
When you first connect the Cell16 to your PC via USB, a "Found New Hardware" message will
