Page 8: Configuration
DEBUG/MONITOR PORT CONNECTION The 7700PTX-STP is configured via the debug/monitor port, the header of which is labeled J1. A special Evertz adapter cable allows this port to connect to the COM port of a personal computer. The following steps describe this procedure. - Page 9 7700 MultiFrame Manual 7700PTX-STP Serial Tally Protocol Translator 3. Connect the other end of the upgrade cable to a straight-through serial cable. Connect the serial cable to the serial or COM port of the computer. 4. Initiate HyperTerminal on your computer by selecting: “Start\Programs\Accessories\Communications\HyperTerminal”.
