HA-RS Configuration
The HA-RS Serial Host Adapter enables a user to remotely connect to a serial device and control the device using the PRIMUX
User Station as a terminal. The HA-RS is compatible with most serial devices with an RS232 port. The HA-RS emulates a
VT100 terminal
– converting serial data from an ASCII device into VGA video (800x600 @ 60Hz signal).
Note: The HA-RS Host Adapter will only work with User Stations programmed with firmware version 2.0 and later.
Note: All Host Adapters must be programmed with firmware version 2.0 in order to work with a User Station programmed
with firmware version 2.0 and later. See “Please Note...” on page i.
When connecting to an HA-RS through Command Mode (page 19) a terminal screen will be presented with a connection to the
serial device. The terminal screen will include available functions for the user interface listed at the bottom.
