Serial Access to the Pulsar Edge Controller
RS-232 Terminal/Modem Port
The Pulsar Edge is a highly flexible controller with many features. This section outlines
programming the controller using the Hyper Terminal program that is shipped with most IBM
compatible PC's. Connect the cable between the computer RS-232 port, and the Pulsar Edge
System Controller RS-232 port, J6. After Hyper Terminal has started and the programming cable
is connected to the controller and the PC, you should see the login screen that allows access to the
Pulsar Edge programming features.
RS-232 Terminal/Modem Port
This interface provides a T1.317 interface for local or dial-out access. The local port DTR signal
switches the port personality from modem to terminal. This interface provides access to all status,
configuration, and operations. It also provides call-out on alarm capability.
The controller communicates with the modem using the following settings:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None
Logging On
Three levels of security protect incoming access: user, super-user, and administrator. A user has
read ability and can only get status information from the Pulsar Edge. A super-user can change
configurations and perform control operations. An administrator has all the abilities of a super-
user but can also change passwords. All access to Pulsar Edge is via the T1.317 command set, to
be discussed later.
This section describes how to log into the system via an RS-232 local port. The first step to
logging in is to get to an “ENTER PASSWORD:” prompt. From a terminal connected to the RS-
232 port, simply press ENTER until you see the log-in prompt. The number of ENTER keys
required will depend on the baud rate you are trying to connect at. The controller will adjust its
baud rate automatically until it recognizes the carriage return character (ASCII 13) sent by
pressing ENTER.
At the “ENTER PASSWORD:” prompt, type the user or super-user password. The default
password for each level of security is listed below.
Default User password lineage
Default Super-user password super-user
Default Administrator password administrator
After receiving the correct password, the controller will respond with one of the following
