6. Menu Interface
The GES Menu Interface is used for out-of-band control of the GES. It provides the
ability to customize configurations and status monitoring.
6.1. Required Hardware
To interact with the STR9 CPU, the following hardware is required:
• Power supply
• Gigabit Ethernet Switch, Part Number AE101264
• Computer with Terminal Emulation software (i.e.: TeraTerm under Windows)
6.2. Serial Port Setup
Serial port setup is 115,200 Baud with N81 and no hardware or software handshaking.
The command system is tied to DEV1.
The second UART (DEV2) will reply to an input character with a message string “Saw a
NN on port 1\n”, where NN is a hexadecimal representation of the input character.
6.3. Menus
6.3.1. How the menus work
All menu selections require a single character to be input. There is no need to enter a
carriage return.

and are not modifiable by the customer). The IP addresses and netmasks are
configurable by the customer via the RS-232 interface.
