Local Terminal using Serial

Connection

A terminal can be connected directly to the RS232 serial port. This requires the use of a terminal emulation software package such as Procomm or Microsoft HyperTerminal. Any standard terminal that supports baud rates of 9600 or greater can be connected to the modem’s serial port. By default, the router is configured to communicate at a baud rate of 38400.
