2. Attach the DB-9 female cable to the male DB-9 serial port on the Managed Media Converter.
3. Attach the other end of the serial cable to an ASCII terminal emulator. For example, Windows98/2000/XP HyperTerminal utility.
   The RC-2002 converter uses the following serial port parameter values:
   
   Baud rate: 57600
   Stop bits: 1
   Data bits: 8
   Parity: N
   Flow control: none
   
   
4. When the terminal emulator is connected to the RC-2002, press the key, the login prompt will now be shown on the screen. The default username and password is shown below:
   
   Username: admin
   Password: admin
   
   
5. Please refer to Section 4-1 Console Management for details about console user interface operating description.

1. Attach a Cat. 5 TP cable between your PC and the TP port of the RC-2002 converter.
2. Boot up the converter.
3. Either run a terminal simulator and invoke a telnet session on your PC, or run your browser software.

1. Attach the fibre connector to the Managed Media Converter.
2. Attach the other end of cable to the Central Media Converter Chassis.
3. At central site:
   • Install and connect a PC to the TP port of the Central Media Converter Chassis with Cat. 5 UTP network cable (or via a switch).
   • Assign a public or private IP address in accordance with each network site. Please refer to Fig. 2-10 about the Managed Media converter default IP address information.

Note:

1. For IP address assignment, there is a simple rule that exists and must be obeyed. Basically, the Internet addresses are categorized into class A, B and C. The IP addresses for Class A are those less than 126.255.255.255 The IP addresses for Class B are ranged from 128.0.0.0 – 191.255.255.255 The IP addresses for Class C are ranged from 192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255 The rest of the IP addresses are for multicast and broadcast.
2. The subnet mask is used to separate the host addresses from the network addresses. For example, there are 255 IP addresses in a class C network, but they are considered as a single network. When we want to have more than two independent networks in an office, a partition to the network must be performed. In this case, a subnet mask must be applied.
3. Private IP address, IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) has reserved three blocks of IP address for private networks:
   
   Class A: 10.0.0.0 --- 10.255.255.255
   Class B: 172.16.0.0 --- 172.31.255.255
   Class C: 192.168.0.0 --- 192.168.255.255

Please refer to RFC 1597 and RFC 1466 for more information.

CHAPTER 3. Operation of Web-based Management

1. The RC-2002 converter provides a built in web server for easy administration and monitoring. The converter can be managed via the copper or the fibre interface. If you need to change the default IP address for first use, then you will need to use the console to modify the IP address. Please refer to Chapter 4 for more details.
   
   The default values for the RC-2002 Converter are as follows:
   IP Address: 192.168.1.1
   Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway: 192.168.1.254
   Username: admin
   Password: admin
   
   
2. Once you have configured the IP address accordingly you can now open up a web browser and enter the devices IP address. For instance, http://192.168.1.1, you will now be prompted for a username and password, enter the username and password as above.

Parameter description:

Port:

The TP Port is the RC-2002's Ethernet UTP Interface. The Fibre Port is the RC-2002's Ethernet Fibre Interface.

State:

Shows if the communication capabilities of the port is Enabled or Disabled. When Enabled, traffic can be transmitted and received via this port. When Disabled, the port is blocked and no traffic can be transferred through this port. The Port State is configured by the user. There are only two states available Enable and Disable. If the ports state is set to Disabled, then that port is prohibited from passing any traffic, even if it has link. The default value is Enabled.

Auto Negotiation:

Two states can be chosen, Enable and Disable. Enable means the port will use the auto-negotiation algorithm to exchange the speed, duplex and flow control settings with the linked partner. When enabled, the speed, duplex mode and flow control settings may change. Disable means that forced mode will be used. When disabled, if you want to set up a connection successfully, the port configuration should be the same for the local port and the linked partner. If their configuration is different, link between the two devices may not be established. The RC-2002, fibre port supports forced mode only.

Speed/Duplex:

3.5.1.1 Username / Password Setting

Function name:

Username/Password Setting

Function description:

Only the administrator can create, modify or delete the username and password. The administrator can modify other guest identities passwords without having to confirm the password, but when modifying the administrator password the password must be confirmed. The guest-equivalent identity can only modify his own password. Please note that you must confirm the administrator/guest identity by ticking the check box prior to changing the username and password.
Default settings are as follows:

Username: admin
Password: admin

3.5.1.2 IP Configuration

The IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the RC-2002. Without the correct settings the network manager will not be able to see the device. The RC-2002 supports both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via a DHCP Server. When the IP address is changed you must reboot the converter for the setting to take effect.

Function name:

IP Configuration

Function description:

Set IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the RC-2002.

Parameter description:

DHCP:

The RC-2002 supports DHCP client mode, which allows the converter to obtain an IP address automatically if this function is set to Enable. The RC-2002 will find the DHCP server on the network and request an IP address. If there is no DHCP server available on the network the RC-2002 will count down from 60 seconds, if the DHCP server still does not respond the RC-2002 will use it's last pre-configured IP address. If this function is set to Disable, you will have to set an IP address manually. Default: Disable

IP Address:

If the DHCP function is set to Disable the user can configure the IP settings for the converter. Default: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask:

Set the subnet mask to a value corresponding to your current network settings. Default: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway:

Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not meet the rules predefined in a device. If a packet does not meet the criteria for other routers, then it must be sent to a default router. This means any packet with undefined TCP/IP information will be sent to this device unconditionally. Default: 192.168.1.254

3.5.1.3 System Time Setting

The RC-2002 provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via NTP. Manual setting is simple, you just input the "Year", "Month", "Day", "Hour", "Minute" and "Second" within the valid value range indicated in each item. If you input an invalid value, for example, 61 in minute, the converter will change the value to 59.

NTP is a well known protocol used to synchronise the clock of the RC-2002 system time over a network. NTP, an internet draft standard formalised in RFC 1305, has been adopted on the system version 3 protocol. The RC-2002 provides four built-in real internet site NTP server IP addresses and a user-defined NTP server IP address. The time zone is Greenwich-centered which uses the expression form of GMT +/- xx hours.

Function name:

System Time Setting

Function description:

Set the system time manually or get the network time from a NTP server for system time reference in the RC-2002.

Parameter description:

Manual:

The user can key in the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Second directly to synchronise the system time with the local time. Default: Year=2000, Month=1, Day=1, Hour=0, Minute=0 Second=0

NTP:

Select the NTP protocol to synchronise the system time, you will only need to choose a NTP server and select a Time Zone. Then, click the Apply button, the system will take effect immediately. This will not automatically update the system time periodically.

3.5.2 SNMP Configuration

Function name:

SNMP Configuration

Function description:

Any network management station running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the converter which is equipped with an SNMP Agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the management station. SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between a SNMP Manager and Agent. The SNMP agent will only run on the converter if you have enabled SNMP. If disabled the related community name, trap host IP address, trap and RMON counters will be ignored.

In the SNMP Configuration function, the community string is used as a password to authenticate the request. If both devices have the same community name, then they can talk to each other; otherwise, the network management unit cannot access the converter via the SNMP protocol. To set up a trap host means to create a trap manager by assigning an IP address to receive the trap message. In other words, the trap host is a network management unit with a SNMP manager which receives the trap messages from the converter. You can configure up to 4 trap hosts to prevent important trap messages from being lost.

A SNMP manager must pass the authentication so that it can access the agent. So, both parties must have the same community name. You can also define the system name, system location and contact person for easy management via the SNMP manager. Fill in the data, then click the Apply button to apply the new settings.

Parameter description:

SNMP:

SNMP enable/disable selection. Default is Enable.

Get Community:

User-definable community name for the authentication of the SNMP Get Community, the default is public.

Set Community:

User-definable community name for the authentication of SNMP Set Community, the default is private.

To set up a trap host IP address in order to receive RC-2002’s trap messages. The default host 1 IP address 0.0.0.0 means that the transmission of trap message to host 1 is disabled.

Community (Host 1):

User-definable community name for the authentication of SNMP Trap community for host 1, the default is public.

Trap Host 2 IP Address:

This parameter setting is the same as Trap Host 1 IP Address.

Community (Host 2):

This parameter setting is the same as Community (Host 1). The default is public.

Trap Host 3 IP Address:

This parameter setting is the same as Trap Host 1 IP Address.

Community (Host 3):

This parameter setting is the same as Community (Host 1). The default is public.

Trap Host 4 IP Address:

This parameter setting is the same as Trap Host 1 IP Address.

Community (Host 4):

This parameter setting is the same as Community (Host 1). The default is public.

Cold Start Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s power is cycling.

Warm Start Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while rebooting the RC-2002 Converter by means of pressing the RC-2002’s RESET button or running Reboot function of software.

Link Down Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s UTP link status has changed from up to down. The Link Down Trap Packet will not be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s fibre port link status has changed from up to down. The fibre port Link Down Event will be stored in the Log Data.

Link Up Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s UTP or Fibre port link status has changed from down to up.

Authentication Failure Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 SNMP agent authentication failure occurs. Authentication failure means that the SNMP agent receives a SNMP request with an incorrect community name.

3.5.3 Bandwidth Setting

Function name:

Function description:

The bandwidth setting for the converter can be adjusted in increments of 5Mbps.
e.g. 0, 5, 10, 15, ........95, 100Mbps.
You can use the pull down list to select the rated bandwidth you would like to set in the convertor, The setting will take affect and be saved after clicking the Apply button.
The default is 100Mbps.

3.5.4 Broadcasting Suppression

Function name:

Broadcasting Suppression

Function description:

The Broadcasting Suppression function is used to spread the request of broadcast packets into a larger time frame to prevent traffic congestion due to broadcast packets from multiple network devices trying to connect to NMS, boot servers or DHCP servers.

The RC-2002 supports a random delay time for DHCP and boot delay for each device. This suppresses the broadcast storm when all devices are at booting stage at the same time. The maximum user-defined delay time is 30 sec. If the Broadcasting Suppression function is enabled, the delay time is set randomly, ranging from 0 to 30 seconds, because the exact delay time is computed by the converter itself. The default is “Disable”.

3.5.5 Trap/Alarm Configuration

Function name:

Trap Events Configuration

Function description:

The Trap Events Configuration function is used to enable the Managed Media Converter to send out trap information while pre-defined trap events occur. The RC-2002 offers 13 different trap events to users for converter management. The trap information can be sent out in three ways, including e-mail, mobile phone SMS (short message system) and Traps.

In the Loopback Test function, there are two different loopback tests. One is an Internal Loopback Test and the other is an External Loopback Test. The former test function will not send the test signal outside the RC-2002 converter box. The test signal only wraps around in the RC-2002 converter box. As to the latter test function, it will send the test signal to its link partner. If you do not have them connected to active network devices, i.e. the ports do not have link, the RC-2002 will report the port numbers as failed. If they all are ok, it just shows OK.

Note: Whatever you choose Internal Loopback Test or External Loopback Test, these two functions will interfere with the normal system operation.

The administrator can modify other guest identities passwords without having to confirm the password, but when modifying the administrator password the password must be confirmed. The guest-equivalent identity can only modify his own password. Please note that you must confirm the administrator/guest identity by ticking the check box prior to changing the username and password.
Default settings are as follows:

Username: admin
Password: admin

4.5.1.2 IP Configuration

The IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the RC-2002. Without the correct settings the network manager will not be able to see the device. The RC-2002 supports both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via a DHCP Server. When the IP address is changed you must reboot the converter for the setting to take effect.

Function name:

IP Configuration

Function description:

Set IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for the RC-2002.

Parameter description:

IP Address:

If the DHCP function is set to Disable the user can configure the IP settings for the converter. Default: 192.168.1.1

Subnet Mask:

Set the subnet mask to a value corresponding to your current network settings. Default: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway:

Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not meet the rules predefined in a device. If a packet does not meet the criteria for other routers, then it must be sent to a default router. This means any packet with undefined TCP/IP information will be sent to this device unconditionally. Default: 192.168.1.254

DHCP:

The RC-2002 supports DHCP client mode, which allows the converter to obtain an IP address automatically if this function is set to Enable. The RC-2002 will find the DHCP server on the network and request an IP address. If there is no DHCP server available on the network the RC-2002 will count down from 60 seconds, if the DHCP server still does not respond the RC-2002 will use it's last pre-configured IP address. If this function is set to Disable, you will have to set an IP address manually. Default: Disable

4.5.1.3 System Time Setting

The RC-2002 provides manual and automatic ways to set the system time via NTP. Manual setting is simple, you just input the "Year", "Month", "Day", "Hour", "Minute" and "Second" within the valid value range indicated in each item. If you input an invalid value, for example, 61 in minute, the converter will change the value to 59.

NTP is a well known protocol used to synchronise the clock of the RC-2002 system time over a network. NTP, an internet draft standard formalised in RFC 1305, has been adopted on the system version 3 protocol. The RC-2002 provides four built-in real internet site NTP server IP addresses and a user-defined NTP server IP address. The time zone is Greenwich-centered which uses the expression form of GMT +/- xx hours.

Function name:

System Time Setting

Function description:

Set the system time manually or get the network time from a NTP server for system time reference in the RC-2002.

Parameter description:

Manual:

The user can key in the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Second directly to synchronise the system time with the local time. Default: Year=2000, Month=1, Day=1, Hour=0, Minute=0 Second=0

NTP:

Select the NTP protocol to synchronise the system time, you will only need to choose a NTP server and select a Time Zone. Then, click the Apply button, the system will take effect immediately. This will not automatically update the system time periodically.

4.5.2 SNMP Configuration

Function name:

SNMP Configuration

Function description:

Any network management station running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can manage the converter which is equipped with an SNMP Agent, provided that the Management Information Base (MIB) is installed correctly on the management station. SNMP is a protocol that is used to govern the transfer of information between a SNMP Manager and Agent. The SNMP agent will only run on the converter if you have enabled SNMP. If disabled the related community name, trap host IP address, trap and RMON counters will be ignored.

In the SNMP Configuration function, the community string is used as a password to authenticate the request. If both devices have the same community name, then they can talk to each other; otherwise, the network management unit cannot access the converter via the SNMP protocol. To set up a trap host means to create a trap manager by assigning an IP address to receive the trap message. In other words, the trap host is a network management unit with a SNMP manager which receives the trap messages from the converter. You can configure up to 4 trap hosts to prevent important trap messages from being lost.

A SNMP manager must pass the authentication so that it can access the agent. So, both parties must have the same community name. You can also define the system name, system location and contact person for easy management via the SNMP manager. Fill in the data, then click the Apply button to apply the new settings.



Three functions are offered in the SNMP configuration, including SNMP Status, Community Strings and Trap Configuration. The explanations of these functions are as below in order.

Function name:

SNMP Status

Parameter description:

SNMP Status:

SNMP enable/disable selection. Default is Enable.

Function name:

Community Strings

Parameter description:

Get Community Name:

User-definable community name for the authentication of the SNMP Get Community, the default is public.

Set Community Name:

User-definable community name for the authentication of SNMP Set Community, the default is private.

Trap Host 1-4 IP Address / Community Name:

Users can fill in specified trap host 1-4 IP addresses with SNMP community name.

Function name:

Trap Configuration

Function description:

Trap is a PDU packet sent by the SNMP agent in the Managed Media Converter. The Managed Media Converter will send the trap packet containing the useful information about an unusual event to the SNMP manager. The information includes cold start trap, warm start trap, link down trap, link up trap and authentication failure trap. In the RC-2002 Converter, the SNMP agent will automatically send cold start trap and warm start trap to SNMP manager after booting successfully.

Parameter description:

Cold Start Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s power is cycling.

Warm Start Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while rebooting the RC-2002 Converter by means of pressing the RC-2002’s RESET button or running Reboot function of software.

Link Down Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s UTP link status has changed from up to down. The Link Down Trap Packet will not be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s fibre port link status has changed from up to down. The fibre port Link Down Event will be stored in the Log Data.

Link Up Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 Converter’s UTP or Fibre port link status has changed from down to up.

Authentication Failure Trap:

This trap packet will be sent while the RC-2002 SNMP agent authentication failure occurs. Authentication failure means that the SNMP agent receives a SNMP request with an incorrect community name.

4.5.3 Bandwidth Setting

Function name:

Bandwidth setting

Function description:

The bandwidth setting for the converter can be adjusted in increments of 5Mbps.
e.g. 0, 5, 10, 15, ........95, 100Mbps.
You can use the pull down list to select the rated bandwidth you would like to set in the convertor, The setting will take affect and be saved after clicking the Apply button.
The default is 100Mbps.

4.5.4 Broadcasting Suppression

Function name:

Broadcasting Suppression

Function description:

The Broadcasting Suppression function is used to spread the request of broadcast packets into a larger time frame to prevent traffic congestion due to broadcast packets from multiple network devices trying to connect to NMS, boot servers or DHCP servers.

The RC-2002 supports a random delay time for DHCP and boot delay for each device. This suppresses the broadcast storm when all devices are at booting stage at the same time. The maximum user-defined delay time is 30 sec. If the Broadcasting Suppression function is enabled, the delay time is set randomly, ranging from 0 to 30 seconds, because the exact delay time is computed by the converter itself. The default is “Disable”.

4.5.5 Trap/Alarm Configuration

Function name:

Trap Events Configuration

Function description:

The Trap Events Configuration function is used to enable the Managed Media Converter to send out trap information while pre-defined trap events occur. The RC-2002 offers 13 different trap events to users for converter management. The trap information can be sent out in three ways, including e-mail, mobile phone SMS (short message system) and Traps. You can select what traps you want to be sent by ticking the appropriate tick box next to each trap as shown on the console screen below.

Restore User Configuration function can retrieve the previous confirmed working configuration stored in the flash memory to update the user’s current working configuration. When completing restoration of the configuration, the system’s working configuration is updated and will be change to the new configuration immediately.

4.6 Diagnostics

Function name:

Diagnostics

Function description:

The Diagnostics function provides a set of basic system diagnosis. It let users know whether the system is healthy or needs to be fixed. The basic system check includes UART test, DRAM test, Flash test, Temperature detection, Voltage detection and Case detection.



Function name:

Loopback Test

Function description:

In the Loopback Test function, there are two different loopback tests. One is an Internal Loopback Test and the other is an External Loopback Test. The former test function will not send the test signal outside the RC-2002 converter box. The test signal only wraps around in the RC-2002 converter box. As to the latter test function, it will send the test signal to its link partner. If you do not have them connected to active network devices, i.e. the ports do not have link, the RC-2002 will report the port numbers as failed. If they all are ok, it just shows OK.

Note: Whatever you choose Internal Loopback Test or External Loopback Test, these two functions will interfere with the normal system operation.



Function name:

Ping Test

Function description:

Ping Test function is a tool for detecting if the target device is alive or not through the ICMP protocol which abounds with report messages. The RC-2002 provides a Ping Test function to let you know if the target device is available or not. You can simply fill in a known IP address and then click the Ping Now button. After a few seconds, the RC-2002 will report whether the pinged device is alive or dead.

Parameter description:

IP Address: an IP address with the version of v4, e.g. 192.168.1.1.
Default Gateway: IP address of the default gateway.
For more details, please see the section of IP address in Chapter 2.

Function name:

Auto Ping Configuration

Function description:

Auto Ping Configuration is used to test one or two target devices periodically with a period of time, which is programmable. This can detect if the target device or the device itself is dead, and it helps you debug any network problems. The RC-2002 can auto-ping two network devices at the same time.

Parameter description:

Ping Interval:

This parameter is used to instruct the RC-2002 periodically pinging the target device with the time interval you assigned.
Programmable time range: 1 – 60 minutes.
Default: 10 minutes.

Host IP Address 1/2 and Current Default Gateway:

These are IP addresses with the format of version 4. For more information, please see the section of IP address in Chapter 2.

4.7 Show Log Data

This function shows the log data. The RC-2002 provides one type of trap log data for users. There are 8 private trap logs and 5 public trap logs. The RC-2002 supports a total of 20 log entries. For more details on log items, please refer to the section of Trap/Alarm Configuration and SNMP Configuration. User logs include user login and logout.

Function name:

Trap Log Data

Function description:

The Trap Log Data is displaying the log items including all SNMP Private Trap events, SNMP Public traps and user logs occured in the system. In the report table, No, Time and Events are three fields contained in each trap record.

Parameter description:

No:

Display the order number when the trap occured.

Time:

Display the time that the trap occured.

Events:

Display the trap event name.

4.8 Software Upgrade

The Software Upgrade tool is used to help upgrade the software function in order to fix or improve the functionality of the converter. The RC-2002 provides a TFTP client for software upgrade. This can be done through the ethernet port.

Function name:

Software Upgrade

Function description:

The RC-2002 supports a TFTP upgrade tool for upgrading software. If you need to upgrade the software to a newer version, you must follow two procedures:

1. Specifying the IP address of the TFTP server. In this field, the IP address of your TFTP server should be filled in.
2. Specifying the filename and where the file is located. You must specify the full path and filename.

Once you press the Apply button, the RC-2002 will prompt you to reconfirm. Then, the RC-2002 starts downloading software from the TFTP server if you selected the OK button. If you selected the Cancel button it will return to the previous screen.

If your download is not successful, RC-2002 will also return to the “Software Upgrade” screen and it will not upgrade the software.

When download is completed, the RC-2002 starts upgrading software. A reboot message will be prompted after completing the upgrade process. At this time, you must reboot the RC-2002 to enable the new software.

Parameter description:

TFTP Server:

A TFTP server stores the image file you want to upgrade.

Path and Filename:

The File path and filename of the image file you want to upgrade.

4.9 Reboot

We offer you many ways to reboot the RC-2002, including power up, hardware reset and software reset. You can press the RESET button on the front panel to reset the RC-2002. After upgrading software, changing IP configuration or changing VLAN mode configuration, you must reboot to have the new configuration take effect. Here we are discussing the software reset function “reboot” in the main menu.

Function name:

Reboot

Function description:

Reboot the RC-2002. Reboot takes the same effect as the RESET button on the front panel of the RC-2002 converter. It will take around thirty (30) seconds to complete the system boot.

4.10 Logout

You can manually logout of the RC-2002 by performing the Logout function. You can also configure the Rc-2002 to logout automatically.

Function name:

Logout

Function description:

The RC-2002 allows you to logout of the system to prevent other users from accessing the system without permission. If you do not logout and exit the browser, the RC-2002 will automatically logout for you.

Parameter description:

Auto Logout:

Select On/OFF. Default is ON. If it is “ON” and no action is performed or no key is pressed in any function screen for more than 3 minutes, the RC-2002 will logout automatically.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Resolving No Link Conditions

The possible causes for a no link LED status are as follows:

• The attached device is not powered on
• The cable may not be the correct type or is faulty
• The installed building premise cable is faulty
• The port may be faulty

5.2 Q&A

1. Computer A can connect to Computer B, but cannot connect to Computer C through the RC-2002 Converter.
   • The network device of Computer C may fail to work. Please check the link/act status of Computer C on the LED indicator. Try another network device on this connection.
   • The network configuration of Computer C may have something wrong. Please verify the network configuration on Computer C.
   
   
2. The uplink connection function fails to work.
   • Please check the uplink setup of the RC-2002 Converter to verify the uplink function is enabled.
   
   
3. The console interface doesn't appear on the console port connection.
   • The COM port default parameters are [Baud Rate: 57600, Data Bits: 8, Parity Bits: None, Stop Bit: 1, Flow Control: None. Please check the COM port property in the terminal program. And if the parameters are changed, please set the COM configuration to the new settings.
   • Check the RS-232 cable is connected on the Console port of the RC- 2002 Converter and on the COM port of PC.
   • Check if the COM of the PC is enabled.
   
   
4. How to configure the RC-2002 Converter?
   • The “Hyperterm” is the terminal program in Win95/98/NT. Users can also use any other terminal programs in Linux/Unix to configure the converter. Please refer to the user guide of that terminal program. But the COM port parameters (baud rate/ data bits/ parity bits/ flow control) must be the same as the setting of the console port of the RC-2002 Converter.
