Directions

  • Do not insert/extract or push/pull attached connector frequently
  • Do not put stress on connector and base
  • Do not attach connector when the power of KURO-BOX/PRO is on
  • You will need terminal software


Setup Process

Attach Serial Header to circuit board by soldering iron make sure the AC plug is off.

  • Open front panel of KURO-BOX/PRO, take the HDD daughter board out.
  • Put the serial header onto UART0. make sure pin No.1 match to TXD.
  • Attach with a soldering iron from the back of the base.
  • Put the daughterboard back onto the KURO-BOX/PRO

Connection of SCON-KIT/PRO

  • Connect SCON-KIT/PRO and UART0 on the sub base of KURO-BOX/PRO by using a patch cord
  • Do not connect to the PC yet.

Preparation of appropriate COM port driver and install

  • download the appropriate COM port driver for FT232R from the URL below 
    http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
  • Connect the SCON-KIT/PRO to the USB port of PC. Install the driver which you downloaded.
  • Open Device manager and check which COM port is used. For example in the picture, port is named COM5.

Set up the terminal software

  • Start terminal software. See KURO-BOX/PRO UART specification set up serial port. Use your COM? port for setting.

Example: the way to setup using “HyperTerminal” in WindowsXP/2000

    • start “hyper terminal” and register a name of the new connection
    • connection method: chose COM? which you checked before
    • see KURO-BOX/ PRO UART specification and set up the port
    • you can see he picture when you start KURO-BOX/PRO
