RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)

The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the

AWK-6222 to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the AWK-6222’s IP address. It is

also convenient to use serial console configurations when you cannot access the AWK-6222 over

Ethernet LAN, such as in the case of LAN cable disconnections or a broadcast storm.

ATTENTION

Do not use the RS-232 console manager when the AWK-6222 is powered at reversed voltage

(ex. -48VDC), even though reverse voltage protection is supported.

If you need to connect the RS-232 console at reversed voltage, Moxa’s TCC-82 isolator is your

best solution.

NOTE

We recommend using Moxa PComm (Lite) Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free

of charge from Moxa’s website.

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

connect the AWK-6222’s RS-232 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, take the

following steps to access the RS-232 console utility.

1. From the Windows desktop, open the Start menu and start PComm Terminal Emulator in the

PComm (Lite) group.

ATTENTION

1. You CANNOT connect to the AWK-6222 with two or more of these console configurations

simultaneously.

2. You can connect to the AWK-6222 simultaneously by web browser and serial/ Telnet /SSH

console. However, we strongly suggest that you do NOT use more than one connection

method at the same time. Following this advice will allow you to maintain better control

over the configuration of your AWK-6222.
