Moxa TCC-120I [17/18] Step 4 test the connection

STEP 4: Test the Connection

After setting the DIP switches, connecting the power, and wiring the

terminal block, we suggest using a Console Terminal program, such as

HyperTerminal or Moxa Terminal Emulator, to test the connection. If you

have an RS-422/485 serial board (such as Moxa Industio CP-132) installed

on your PC, you can connect your PC’s COM port to one of the

TCC-120/120I’s RS-422/485 terminal blocks, and connect the

TCC-120/120I’s other RS-422/485 terminal block to one of the RS-422/485

serial board’s ports. Next, start HyperTerminal or Moxa Terminal Emulator,

and then open a connection to the COM port, and to the port associated with

the TCC-120/120I’s RS-422/485 port. Simply type a few characters on your

PC’s keyboard. The characters you type should show up in the

HyperTerminal window that is currently inactive, indicating that the typed

characters were transmitted between the TCC-120/120I’s two RS-422/485

ports.

STEP 5: Placement

In addition to placing the TCC-120/120I on a desktop or other horizontal

surface, you may also make use of the DIN-rail or wall mount options, as

illustrated here.
