EDS-508 Series User’s Manual

Getting Started

Using the RS-232 Serial Console (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)

NOTE

Connection Caution!

1.You cannot connect to EDS simultaneously through the serial console and via Telnet.

2.You can connect to EDS simultaneously by web browser and serial console, or by web browser and via Telnet.

3.However, we recommend that when connecting to EDS by web browser, you do not simultaneously connect by either serial console or via Telnet.

By following this advice, you can maintain better control over how your MOXA EtherDevice Switch is managed.

NOTE

We recommend using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of charge

 

from Moxa’s website. After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, take the following steps to access

 

the RS-232 Console utility.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

Before running PComm Terminal Emulator, use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to

 

connect MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port (generally

 

COM1 or COM2, depending on how your system is set up).

 

 

1.From the Windows desktop, click on Start " Programs " PCommLite2.5 " Terminal

Emulator.

2.Select Open under Port Manager to open a new connection.
