7 Diagnostic menu
7.1 Connecting to the Network controller console
port
For a diagnosis with a pc or laptop there is an installation diagnosis menu, ‘Diagnostics'. It is
not necessary to download all settings via a user interface. After connecting the hardware,
without an exchange being present, it can be checked, locally via a simple terminal program,
whether all hardware is operational.
There are many different programs, like Teraterm, which can emulate a VT100 terminal on a
PC. Using a simple laptop, diagnostics can be logged in via the serial port in the Polyx.
Connect your PC for example to port “Console” from the Network controller. Use the
adapter shown below (available at Keyprocessor BV).
Open a terminal program and make a connection. (e.g. Tera term)
Select the COM-port of the PC connected to the Network controller.
