  4. Connect the other end of the Console port cable directly to a COM port of the PC or terminal server you will be using to configure the Sensor (for example, a PC running correctly configured Windows Hyperterminal software). You must connect directly to the console for initial configuration; you cannot configure the Sensor remotely.

    Terminal servers are provided for console access.

    The required settings for Hyperterminal are as follows:

    • Baud rate: 115200

    • Number of Bits: 8

    • Parity: None

    • Stop Bits: 1

    • Control Flow: None

  5. Plug one end of the power cable into the power inlet and plug the other end into a power source. The Sensor ships with standard US power and international cables.

    Note

    The NS-series Sensor does not have a power switch; you need to only plug the power cable into a power source.
