Getting Started – Local Access
This section describes how to verify the unit is operational. Once installed, this is also the
setup process for local access. For detailed unit configuration and advanced operating
features see Physical
Step 1: Confirm package contents and check system requirements:
Computer terminal with a COM port
Terminal emulation application
Step 2: Connect the VersaPower
Use the included VersaPower power supply to power the USR4204. The VersaPower power
supply includes blade clips compatible with mains power outlets in North America, UK, and
Europe. Remove the plastic protector from the VersaPower base unit, and slide in the
region-specific clip until it locks into place. Plug the power supply into a mains power outlet
and connect the VersaPower output jack to the USR4204 external power supply input.
Step 3) Open a Terminal Emulation Application
Open a terminal emulation window on the computer and select the COM port corresponding
to the computer's serial port (usually COM1). Set the port parameters for 9600bps, 8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
Refer to the terminal emulation application documentation for details on
setting parameters. Please set your application's font for Courier, Courier
New, or another fixed character width font to properly display the menus.
Step 4) Connect a PC to the USR4204
Plug the included RJ45-to-DB9F adaptor into the computer's DB9M serial port. Then connect
the adaptor's RJ45 socket to the USR4204 terminal port using the included rollover cable.
If the terminal application raised the RS-232 DTR signal during initialization,
the USR4204 terminal port LEDs will light and the USR4204 will automatically
send its Main Menu screen to the terminal at 9600bps, 8N1 when you plug
into the terminal port.
Step 5) Confirm communication with the USR4204
In the terminal emulation window hit ENTER to show the Main Menu screen. If the Main
Menu does not appear on the terminal, remove power from the USR4204 and check the
Troubleshooting section.
You can now see the USR4204 parameter settings or enter any command displayed in the
Main Menu screen.
The USR4204 is operational and ready to be installed at the equipment site.
