Chapter 4. Control Port Operation
4.1 General
The ETU-01A Control Port, sometimes referred to as a Console port, (labeled RS-232 on the
front panel) is a serial console terminal port designed to facilitate setup of all parameters through
the use of a standard text based (ANSI) terminal or any terminal emulation program running on a
Personal Computer. The operation uses a serials of menus and requires no special CLI commands.
4.2 Terminal Connection
A laptop computer has become an invaluable tool of the Systems Engineer. A convenient
application, provided with the Microsoft Windows® NT/9X/2K/Xp operating systems, is
"HyperTerminal ™". Connection of the ETU-01A to the computer is accomplished by a DB9-pin
one-to-one, male to female cable. The ETU-01A acts as a DCE to the PC’s DTE communications
port. Set the properties to match the ETU-01A control port defaults as follows: Baud=9600, Data
bits=8, Parity=None, Stop bits=1, and handshaking =None and use a direct connection to the PC's
COM port. Set the terminal emulation mode to ANSI. Make the appropriate connections, start the
terminal application, apply power to the ETU-01A, then press ENTER or SPACE on the PC
keyboard. If you are using "HyperTerminal ™" the display should look like that below.

Note:
The latest Windows operating system, Vista, no longer includes the HyperTerminal program.
You can find a personal edition which will work in Vista, from Hilgraeve's website. Alternately,
there are other terminal emulation programs which are both free and which work on all versions of
Windows. Search the Internet for PuTTY and TeraTerm Pro. PuTTY is also an excellent SSH
client.
