DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Before connecting or disconnecting an RS-232 cable between the DI-1162 and the console and modems, please make sure all devices are off to avoid any chance of damage.

Step 1 - Setting up the Console

The initial setup of the DI-1162, requires connecting a console to the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic port on the router’s front panel. A serial cable is supplied with the router in order to make this connection. A console can be a terminal, such as a VT-100, or a normal PC running terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal, included with Windows). The terminal emulation software needs to be configured to the following parameters:

VT100 terminal emulation

9600 baud

◊ No parity, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit

No flow control

Step 2 - Connecting the Console to the Router

A serial cable is included in the DI-1162 package. To connect this cable, plug its nine-pin connector into the 9-pin RS-232 Diagnostic port on the router’s front panel, then connect the other end to the serial port on the rear of your computer or data terminal.

Please make sure both machines are turned off before making this connection.

After the connection is made, first power on the console. If you are using a PC, run the terminal emulation software at this time. After the PC and the terminal emulation software are up and running, power on the router.
