Establishing a Serial Connection

9.2. Establishing a Serial Connection
Use the following procedure to set up a serial connection with a terminal server program. You can use PuTTY
(Windows) or Minicom (Linux) or optionally, PuTTY can be accessed from PortVision DX using Tools >
Applications > PuTTY.
1. Connect a null-modem cable from an available COM port on your PC to Port 1 on the ICDM-RX/TCP.
Note: See Connecting Serial Devices on Page 76, if you need to build a null-modem cable.
2. Configure the terminal server program to the following values:
• Bits per second = 57600
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = None
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow control = None
Note: If you do not disable Bootloader from loading (Steps 3 through 5) within the time-out period (default
is fifteen seconds), an application will be loaded from flash and started. If this happens, repeat
Steps 3 through 5. The #!DM command is the only case-sensitive command and must be in
uppercase.
3. Reset the ICDM-RX/TCP.
Note: Depending on the model, disconnect and reconnect the power cable (external power supply and no
power switch) or turn the power switch on and then off (internal power supply).
4. Immediately type #!DM and press Enter in the terminal program.
5. At the RedBoot> prompt, type dis, and press Enter.
6. Verify that loading has been disabled.
7. You can use the appropriate procedure listed on Page 111 or use the RedBoot Command Overview on
Page 117 to perform the desired task.
