To access the hub configuration menus, you can use either a PC or a dumb terminal. Setting Up a Connection to a PC Setting up a PC connection requires the following equipment: • FC-AL hub • A personal computer, such as an OmniBook notebook PC • A null-modem serial cable The cable must have a DB-9 female connector for connection to the hub. For example, for an OmniBook notebook PC, you can use an HP 24542U RS-232 cable, which has two DB-9 female connectors. • Terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal The terminal emulator must be capable of ASCII text file transfers and support VT100 or ANSI emulation with no flow control. To establish a connection, do the following: 1. Connect the serial cable between the RS-232 port on the hub and a serial (COM) port on the PC.
