4.5.2 Direct Serial Configuration
If you are unable to configure the IP Interface Module with Telnet, the Direct Serial Configuration
option can be used.
In this mode, there are no passwords (since you are accessing the IP Interface Module in a direct
physical connection) so you can always change various settings. Because the hardware board itself
has to be accessed directly to achieve this connection inside the main panel enclosure, control box
anti-tamper mechanisms can act as a security deterrent.
This mode requires a PC running a Hyper Terminal interface or equivalent with a direct serial cable
connection to the IP interface board (see IP Module Board diagram, Sect. 4.2 for Direct Serial
Configuration).
Once you enter the direct serial configuration mode, all commands are exactly the same as the
ones described for the Telnet configuration method (described in previous section 4.5.1).
Serial Wiring
1) This is a 3-wire serial connection on a PC serial port. A laptop would be convenient in a limited
resources situation.
2) Make a connection from the IP board Direct Serial Configuration pin connectors to the PC.
• Ordering 2 position wired plug (P/N 166-2626) is recommend for plugging into the IP module
board’s Direct Serial Configuration 2 onboard pins.
• Connect a short piece of cable with 2 wires connected to the plug’s 2 wires to act as an
extension.
• Use a 3
rd
wire from the cable and connect it to the IP board’s “Dir” terminal block Ground
connection.
• At the cable’s other end, connect the 3 wires to a DB9 connector as in the following diagram.

Establishing a Direct Serial Connection
1) Set up a Hyper Terminal program:
• Select Com port # e.g. 1, 2.
• Port Settings: Bits per second: 9600, Data bits: 8, Parity: none, Stop bits: 1, Flow control:
None.
2) Remove the power connection for the IP interface board.
3) Hold down the IP Interface Module Discovery Mode button (Sect. 4.2).
4) Reconnect power. When Dir and SIP RX LED’s begin flashing together, release the Discovery
Mode button (NOTE: Discovery Mode will time out after two minutes).
5) A list of text similar to the Telnet screen (Sect. 4.5.1) will display. Follow its instructions to make
changes to the board.
6) As communications are exchanged between IP board and Hyper Terminal, IP board green RX
and red TX auxiliary LED’s will flash back and forth.
