Establishing a Connection to the TimeCreator 1000
To set up and manage the TimeCreator 1000 with a terminal or a computer with
terminal emulation, you must establish either a serial connection or an Ethernet
connection. To connect through the serial port, see Communicating Through the
Serial Port, on page 72. If the TimeCreator 1000 is connected to an Ethernet LAN,
use the procedure described in Communicating Through the Ethernet Port, on page
72.
Communicating Through the Serial Port
An EIA-232 serial port is available on the IMC module for a direct serial connection
to a terminal or a computer with terminal emulation. Use the following procedure to
connect the TimeCreator 1000 to a terminal or a computer with terminal emulation
through a straight serial cable:
1. Connect one end of a straight cable to the serial port on the computer or terminal
and the other end to the EIA-232 connector on the IMC.
2. Configure the emulation software for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and 9600
baud rate.
3. Start the terminal emulation software and press Enter. The system prompt
should appear. If it does not, recheck each step in this procedure.
Communicating Through the Ethernet Port
To communicate with the TimeCreator 1000 using an Ethernet LAN connection, you
must first configure the Ethernet port through the EIA-232 serial port.
Note: Before you can communicate with the TimeCreator 1000
through an Ethernet connection, you must first configure the Ethernet
port using the serial connection.
Note: For information on restricting user access, see Managing the
User Access List, on page 74.
Note: 57600 baud rate is supported only in the IMC rev H
version 1.00.13 or below.
