Moxa Managed Ethernet Switches Getting Started

2-2

Serial Console Configuration (115200, None, 8,

1, VT100)

NOTE

•

You cannot connect to the serial and Telnet console at the same time.

•

You can connect to the web console and

another console (serial or Telnet) at the same time. However, we

strongly recommend that you do NOT do so. Following this advice will allow you to maintain better control

over the Moxa switch’s configuration.

NOTE

We recommend

using PComm Terminal Emulator

when opening the serial console. This software can be

downloaded free of charge from the Moxa website.

Before running PComm Terminal Emulator, use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to connect the

Moxa switch’s console port to your PC’s COM port (generally COM1 or COM2, depending on how your system is

set up).

After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, open the Moxa switch’s serial console as follows:

1. From the Windows desktop, click Start > Moxa > PComm Lite Ver1.6 > Terminal Emulator.

2. Select Open under the Port Manager menu to open a new connection.

3. The Property window should open. On the Communication Parameter tab for Ports, select the COM

port that is being used for the console connection. Set the other fields as follows: 115200 for Baud Rate,

8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits.
