NOTE Connection Caution!
1. You cannot connect to EDS-518A simultaneously by serial console and Telnet.
2. You can connect to EDS-518A simultaneously by web browser and serial console, or by web
browser and Telnet.
However, we strongly suggest that you do NOT use more than one connection method at the
same time. Following this advice will allow you to maintain better control over the
configuration of your EDS-518A.
NOTE We recommend using MOXA PComm Terminal Emulator, which can be downloaded free of
charge from MOXA’s website.
Before running PComm Terminal Emulator, use an RJ45 to DB9-F (or RJ45 to DB25-F) cable to
connect EDS-518A’s RS-232 Console port to your PC’s COM port (generally COM1 or COM2,
depending on how your system is set up).
After installing PComm Terminal Emulator, perform the following steps to access the RS-232
Console utility.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start Æ Programs Æ PCommLite2.5 Æ Terminal
Emulator.
2. Select Open under Port Manager to open a new connection.
