Using The Console Port - Yamaha RTX810 Instruction Manual

Using the console port

The product can be configured with console commands
from a PC that is connected to the console port of the
product using a serial cable.
• In the "Configure users and access limits" screen, you
can prohibit access from web browser (HTTP), TELNET,
SSH, and SFTP software programs (page 100) to make the
product accessible only by means of physical connection.
This restricts users who can change settings, and helps
enhance security.
• You can also specify, from the terminal software, a
configuration file to be used upon startup.
Note
• The following explains an operation using Windows XP and
Hyper Terminal. As Windows Vista and other later Windows
operating systems do not include the hyper terminal utility,
you should use a terminal software program supplied from a
vendor to control its serial devices.
• For more details on how to use the terminal software, please
refer to the instruction manual attached to each software
program.
