Using the Internal Command Console to Configure the SX-550
The Internal Command Console is a command line oriented method for configuring the SX-550. It
provides more comprehensive capabilities than either ExtendView or the Internal Web Pages, but is not
as easy to use. Advanced users may prefer to use this method because it is concise, fast, and powerful.
To use the Internal Command Console:
Part Number 40183-101
You may skip this section if you have completely configured the SX-550 using ExtendView or the SX-550 Internal Web
Pages. However, if you are using the bridge mode, you MUST use the Internal Command Console (see Chapter 4 for
information on configuring bridge mode.
1. The simplest way to access the Internal Command Console is via a terminal (for example, a
Windows PC running the HyperTerminal Accessory program) connected to serial port 2. If you
are using the SX-550-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard, the included serial cable can be used for
this purpose. If you are not using the Evaluation Daughtercard, then you must provide the
appropriate cable to connect pins 21, 22, and one of the ground pins on the OEM header to the
terminal (transmit data on the SX-550 must connect to receive data on the terminal, and vice-
versa). The terminal must be set for 115.2Kbps, 8-bit characters, no parity, and no flow control.

example, if your device is set for 9600bps,
odd parity, and XON/XOFF flow control, you
must change the settings on the SX-550 to
these settings.
