The Diamond-VT supports service operations
over the RS-232 serial port using standard
terminal emulation software available with most
systems.
1 Connect a DB-9 null modem serial cable
between the port marked RS-232 on the front of
the Diamond-VT and one of the computer’s
serial ports. A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-
25 converter may be needed depending on the
cables you are using. The cable must be no
longer than three meters.
2 Boot the computer used to manage the
Diamond-VT.

Windows HyperTerminal. Set the emulator to
use the COM port with cable attached, then the
following settings
• 115200 baud
• 8 bit ASCII
• no parity
• ASCII terminal type
• 1 stop bit
• flow control none
• echo typed characters locally

power on and diagnostics, the unit should
display the POST (power on self test)
