Serial Port Connection
To configure the unit through a serial connection:

port. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1-stop bit, no-flow
control.
2. Reset the xDirect unit by cycling the unit's power (turning the power off and back on).
Immediately upon resetting the device, enter three lowercase x characters (xxx).
Note: The easiest way to enter Setup Mode is to hold down the x key at the terminal (or
emulation) while resetting the unit. You must do this within three seconds of resetting
the xDirect.
At this point, the screen display is the same as when you use a Telnet connection. To continue, go
to step 6 in Telnet Connection above.
