ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T: User Manual2. ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T CLI ConfigurationImportant!: A Serial Port on the computer is required for this procedure.1. Using the Data Interface Connector (see ZumLink Z9-C or Z9-T Data InterfaceConnector (on page 16) for location):a. Apply power to the ZumLink.b. Connect to the Serial Interface of the ZumLink.lThe Z9-C model has an RS232 interface and can be connected directly to anRS232 device.lFreeWave offers a cable (ASC2414DJ) from the radio to a DB9 connector thatincludes a reset button and power input jack.lThe Z9-T model has a TTL interface and does NOT work directly with RS232.lIf connecting up to a device or circuit that is RS232, a circuit is required to adaptbetween the two interfaces.2. If the ZumLink is connected to a computer, open a terminal program (e.g., Tera Term).Note: In this example procedure, Tera Term is used.3.
