2.2 Console and Power Up

An ANSI terminal or a PC running a terminal emulator and a TS-9441 peripheral are
required to communicate with your TS-7400 computer. Simply connect an ANSI terminal
(or emulator) to the console header on the TS-9441 using a null modem cable and the
DB9 adapter for the header (these are included in the TS-ARM Development Kit), using
serial parameters of 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control, 1 stop bit (8N1).
If you are running Linux, the minicom program works well, Windows users can run the
Hyperterm application. Technologic Systems offers a null modem cable with both 25 pin
and 9 pin connectors at each end as part number CB7-05. The TS-9441 also requires the
10-pin header to 9-pin Sub-D adapter which is P/N: RC-DB9.
Note
TS-7400 only has TTL UARTs and to connect to the serial console with a PC's
serial port you need to use the TS-9441 or external RS232 level converters.
