CM1164 RS-232 Control Tool

RS-232 Operation

Overview

The CM1164’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface allows system control through a high-end controller or PC. RS-232 serial operations in a CM1164 installation are managed via HyperTerminal sessions on systems that are running Windows. In order to use this feature to send commands to the CM1164, you must first download and install a HyperTerminal application. For more detailed instructions and information about each of the commands provided in this manual, please refer to the original CM1164 user manual.

Setup

Install a HyperTerminal application on a computer that is not part of the CM1164 setup, which will be connected and used to control the CM1164 via RS-232. HyperTerminal applications can be download from the internet, and many operating systems are embedded with HyperTerminal applications.

Hardware Connection

Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial adapter (SA0141) to connect the computer’s serial port to the DCC In port of the CM1164, as shown below:
