7.4 Configuring the NL240 via RS-232

Accessing the configuration terminal menu via RS-232 requires

the NL240 to be power cycled, so physical access to the device

will be required. A null modem serial cable will be needed; one

is not provided with the NL240.

Using a null modem serial cable, connect your computer’s serial port to

the port labeled “RS-232” on the NL240.

•

Connect to the NL240 using a terminal emulator. DevConfig’s “unknown”

device type or HyperTerminal are examples of simple terminal emulators.

The default settings for this interface are 115200 baud, 8 stop bits, no

parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

•

Power cycle the NL240 and repeatedly press Enter at the terminal.
