Starting a diagnostic session
To start up a local diagnostic session, you need
• one Male “DB9 to RJ45” connector
• one Female “DB9 to RJ45” connector
• one CAT5 patch cord
• communication application (such as Hyperterminal)
• a computer or laptop.
Since you are running a local diagnostic session you do
not require a modem. In the following procedure,
Hyperterminal is the communications application.
1. Connect an RS-232 cable between the lower DB9
port on the front panel of the controller and a COM
port on a laptop or computer.
2. From the Start menu, click Programming, click
Accessories, click Communications, and then click
Hyperterminal.
3. In the Hyperterminal folder, double-click
Hypertrm.exe.
4. Enter a name for the connection (for example,
MN3100) and click OK. The Connect To window
opens.
5. In the Connect using field, select the COM port of the
PC that you have connected to the 3100 ICP system
(for example, “Direct to COM1). Click OK.
6. Set the port settings to
Bits per second: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Priority: None
