12.1.1 Connecting and Using a Terminal
An RS-232 connection can be used to connect the Liebert STS2 to either a terminal or a PC running terminal
emulation software. If you are unsure of the cable pin out, see 15.2.10 - Terminal Port Connections.
1. Connect the terminal to the Liebert STS2 by plugging the cable from the terminal into the RS-232 port.
This connection can be made at any time.
2. After making the connection, verify the communications link by pressing <ENTER> on the terminal keyboard.
The interface communications system responds as indicated below:
The SVTP-Control > prompt indicates that RS-232 communications are established.
• If you receive no response or prompt, verify that the connector is properly plugged into the port and the PC or terminal
serial interface is working properly.
3. Enter the desired commands, as listed in Table 6.
For additional help type <?> <command> or <HELP?> <command>
Refer to the corresponding menu options in 13.0 - Liebert STS2 Touchscreen Display for more details about
