Using a Local Terminal
You can configure the probe’s interfaces by connecting a terminal directly to the
probe and using the probe’s Main Menu. Refer to the following sections for
additional information on configuring the probe after you access the probe’s Main
Menu:
z “Modify/View Configuration Values” on page 22
z “Modify/View Security Values” on page 24
z “Modify/View Interface Values” on page 25
z “Display Interface Summary” on page 36
z “Modify/View Serial Port Settings” on page 37
NOTE The probe is not available to the network when you are in its configuration menus.
Use the following procedure to access the probe’s Main Menu:
1. Connect a terminal or a personal computer (PC) emulating a terminal to the
probe’s RS-232 connector using a null modem cable. Refer to Appendix A,
“Cables and Connectors”, for more information on cables.
2. Configure the terminal for 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff
handshaking, and a baud rate of 9600.
3. Connect the power cord to the probe and to a power source (either 100-120/
VAC or 220-240/VAC). The probe does not have a power switch, but is
turned on by connecting power.
4. Start the configuration by quickly pressing the CONFIG button on the back
of the probe one time only. After about 10 seconds, the probe displays its
Main Menu on the terminal. Figure 2-1 shows the location of the CONFIG
button and Figure 2-2 on page 21 shows the probe’s Main Menu. If the Main
Menu is not displayed, verify that the previous steps in this procedure have
been performed correctly.
