Connecting via Console (RJ-45 to DB-9 DCE)
The DWC-2000 Wireless Controller provides a serial port that allows you to connect to a computer or
terminal for monitoring and configuring the device. This port is an RJ-45 connector, and is implemented as a
data communication terminal equipment (DCE) connection.
To use the console port connection, you need the following equipment:
1. A terminal or a computer with both a serial port and the ability to emulate a terminal.
2. The included RJ-45 to DB-9 cable.
3. If your laptop or PC does not run RS-232 interface, USB-to-RS232 connector (not included) is required.
To establish a console connection:
1. Plug the RJ-45 connector end of the supplied RJ-45 to DB-9 cable directly into the console port on the
wireless controller.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a terminal or to the serial connector of a computer running terminal
emulation software (f.i. Hyperterminal, Putty, Mimicom etc). Set the terminal emulation software values as
follows:
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
3. Connect the wireless controller following the instructions in the "Powering on the Device" section in this
guide. The boot sequence will be displayed on the terminal.
4. Once the boot sequence is completed, the command prompt will be displayed and the device is ready to
be configured.
