Setting Up Serial Port Communications Table 15 Leave the bridge turned off until you have set up serial port communications with your host computer, unless serial I/O was previously established and is currently running. The bridge is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing a terminal emulator. For example, Windows 9x and NT 4.0 operating systems can use Hyperterminal. Be sure the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly. To set up serial communication with the bridge: 1. Plug the serial cable provided with the bridge into one of your computer's serial ports (for example, COM1 or COM2) and the bridge's serial port. 2. Start your terminal interface program. 3. Set the terminal interface program to use the appropriate COM port. 4. Specify the following settings for the port: Serial Port Communication Settings Type Baud rate Data bits Parity Stop bits Flow control Settings 9600, 19200,38400, 57600, or 115200 8 None 1 None or XON/XOFF 5. Connect the power cord. 6. Power-on the bridge. Note Before powering on the bridge, make sure all Fibre Channel and SCSI devices are powered-on and have finished performing their self-tests. This will help determine if device mappings are working correctly. 80 Setting Up Serial Port Communications Chapter 4
