APPENDIX
Controlling the Mini PACS via RS-232
The Mini PACS is generally intended to be controlled via IP, in order to control
RS-232, IR, and trigger-operated devices that are connected to it. Under some
circumstances, it may be useful to control the Mini PACS via an RS-232 port,
such as to use the Mini PACS as an RS-232-to-IR or RS-232-to-trigger converter
or if it is more convenient to use an RS-232 connection than an IP connection for
configuration. To do this, the RS-232 port must be configured to run in “Terminal”
mode.
1.
First access the Mini PACS RS-232 Menu via IP. Set the UART Mode to
“Terminal”, then click “Save Settings”
2.
Connect a “null-modem cable” (sold at most computer stores) between the
Mini PACS RS-232 port and the serial port on the computer (an RS-232-toUSB adapter can also be used), and run HyperTerminal or another Terminalemulation program. Default settings are 19200, N, 8, 1.
3.
Type “#help” on the terminal emulation program- a list of commands should
display to verify that the connection is working.
The Telnet commands starting on page 43 provide the same functionality as the
Web Server interface
