(1) To use the serial commands for ioPower control, you have to establish a HyperTerminal
connection between ioPower and the host PC, using a RS-232 cable for connection.
Use the following parameters for HyperTerminal connection:
Bits per seconds: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop
bits: 1
Flow Control: Hardware
(2) After your HyperTerminal session has been established, you have to hit the Enter key twice
to go into command mode, then you can input the serial commands within the HyperTerminal
window according to the following command usages ………………
Command usage notes:
1. The commands are NOT case-sensitive. That means you can use lower case in typing
your commands! The commands does not require a strict double-digit entry of bank number
or port number (such as ON 01 03 – Power on bank 1 port 3) but can accept their single-
digit entries (such as ON 1 3), and also allow multiple blank spaces in between its
command parameters (such as ON 1 3).
2. When using the HyperTerminal, note that ScrollLock should not be ON. Otherwise, it
will block you from entering commands. ScrollLock is OFF by default in HyperTerminal.
However, if you cannot type in commands, please check the ScrollLock status, which can
be viewed on status bar at the bottom of your HyperTerminal window. If ScrollLock is ON,
hit ScrollLock key again to relieve it.
