Serial port usage (RS232)
The following procedure for establishing a connection from your standalone computer or Notebook computer to the
Xtensys switch’s serial port uses Windows HyperTerminal™. Refer to your users manual if a different communication
program is being used.
To access an Xtensys serial port, the following items are required:
A serial cable (RJ12, 6-wire connector and an appropriate adapter for the computer's serial port). The serial
cable and adapter are provided with each switch (Rose part number KIT-ATRX)
A dedicated computer, Notebook computer with a serial port, or a display terminal. Using a display terminal will
allow you to configure the Xtensys switch, however, you will not be able to upgrade new versions of firmware.
The computer or Notebook must not be attached to any Xtensys switches in the system being upgraded.
A communications program such as Windows HyperTerminal.
Connecting the Serial Cable
Attach the serial cable from the RS232 port on the Xtensys (RJ12 connector) to the COM1 port on your computer.
This COM1 port must be the same communication port HyperTerminal or your communication software is configured
for.

Click “OK” when all values have been entered. The HyperTerminal dialog box will display and information can be
exchanged with the Xtensys switch properly. You can save this setup so the next time its needed, you can select the
ICON with the name you gave it and these settings will already be established.
