Serial Console

The OnCell G3100 supports configuration through the serial console, which is the same as the Telnet console

but accessed through the RS-232 console port rather than over the network. Once you have entered the serial

console, the configuration options and instructions are the same as if you were using the Telnet console.

The following instructions and screenshots show how to enter the serial console using PComm Terminal

Emulator, which is available free of charge as part of the PComm Lite suite. You may use a different terminal

emulator utility, although your actual screens and procedures may vary slightly from the following instructions.

1. Turn off the power to the OnCell G3100. Use a serial cable to connect the OnCell G3100’s serial console port

to your computer’s RS-232 serial port.

2. From the Windows desktop select Start



All Programs



PComm Lite



Terminal Emulator.

3. The PComm Terminal Emulator window should appear. From the Port Manager menu, select Open, or

simply click the Open icon as shown below:

4. The Property window opens automatically. Select the Communication Parameter tab, and then select

the appropriate COM port for the connection (COM4 in this example). Configure the parameters for 115200,

8, N, 1 (115200 for Baudrate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits).

5. From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and then click OK.

6. If you are using the OnCell G3100, you may power it up at this point and hold down the “grave accent key”

(`) while powering it up, as shown below. Note that the grave accent key (sometimes called “backwards

apostrophe”) is NOT the apostrophe key—it is the key usually found next to the number 1 key.
