Text-Based Console Configuration
Unit configuration is performed via a text-based console interface, available locally over the RS232 port via a standard PC terminal program such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal®.
Configuration File Upload/Download
A unit’s configuration can be uploaded from / downloaded to a PC, which provides the capability for PC-based file backup and easy configuration copying to multiple units.
