CHAPTER 5M ONITOR AND C ONTROL F EATURES
This chapter describes the various monitor and control (M&C) features and functions
that the Cyber Hardened IBUC 2, IBUC 2e, IBUC 2G, IBUC R and IBUC G offer.
Introduction
You must first establish a communication link with the IBUC to be able access any of
the M&C interfaces.
M&C Interfaces
The Cyber Hardened IBUC 2, IBUC 2e, IBUC 2G, IBUC R and IBUC G offer the
following M&C interfaces:
• RS232
• Multifunction LED
• Ethernet
RS232
No additional configuration of the IBUC is required for proper RS232 operation. The
RS232 port uses ASCII protocol at a fixed baud rate of 115200, 8 stop bits, no parity,
no flow control, and one stop bit for communication. To initiate an RS232 session,
1. Connect a 19-pin to DB9F cable between the computer and the IBUC.
Figure D.1 on page D-2 contains a drawing for fabricating a cable.
2. Activate a terminal emulation program such as PuTTY
3. Configure Serial RS232 Session with matching baud rate, stop bits, parity, flow
control and stop bit, as given above and connect to the IBUC unit.
