6.Select a Control Method — Control of the DGy can be through either RS-232 serial or Ethernet connection. See Appendix B for details on establishing communication between a PC and the DGy 201x.

~Serial Control — To control DGy 201x using a terminal emulation program (such as Hyperterminal or Procomm), connect the COM port of the device to the DGy 201x RS-232 Port. This enables DGy 201x control through ASCII commands. For information on DGy 201x commands refer to the Command Line Interface chapter (page 85).

A straight through cable (typically 9-pin male-to-female with one-to-one wiring) is required. For information on RS-232 connection parameters refer to the RS-232 Connector section in Appendix A (page 129).

Launch Hyperterminal or other terminal emulator software and set the communication parameters to:

•115,200 Baud

•8 Bits

•1 Stop Bit

•No Parity

•XON/XOFF Flow Control

For information on setting up a Hyperterminal see Appendix B, Launching a Hyperterminal Window on page 131.

~Ethernet Control — To control the DGy 201x over a network, connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN to the DGy 201x’s 100/1000 Base-T Ethernet Port. This method allows use of a Telnet session or a standard web browser to access DGy 201x’s internal Web Control Panel. Ethernet is also ideal for controlling multiple DGy 201x recorders.

Note	A PC can be connected directly to the DGy 201x
	Ethernet Port without being connected to a network.
	For this direct-connect method, use an Ethernet hub
	or crossover cable. In Appendix A, refer to the
	Ethernet Connector section on page 128 for pinout
	details.
