Figure 3. Serial port display

 

 

A null modem cable can be used to connect the serial port to a terminal. Terminal software, such as Microsoft® Windows® HyperTerminal or Minicom for Linux, can be used to access the 1U power enclosure status display. On the terminal, configure the following settings to allow communication through the serial port:

9,600 bps

No parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit

Software flow control, may also be called XON/XOFF
