Trango Broadband TrangoLink-10 user manual Serial Port, Type resetpassword

Getting Started

Serial Port

TrangoLINK-10 Master Units and remote Units feature a serial port. The serial port is useful in the event that the radio cannot be accessed via TCP/IP (HTTP or Telnet). A Terminal Emulation program (such as HyperTerminal on the Windows operating system) can be used to access the radio’s CLI using the radio’s serial port, which is located behind the RJ- 11 access cover on the bottom of the radio. A serial programming cable has been provided with each TrangoLINK-10 for this purpose. To terminate a CLI session (Telnet or Serial) type the command logout. Type help or ? for a listing of all CLI commands. Type help [<command>], for the syntax of a particular command.
