HA-RS Configuration
The HA-RS Serial Host Adapter enables a user to remotely connect to a serial device and control the device using the PRIMUX
User Station as a terminal. The HA-RS is compatible with most serial devices with an RS232 port. The HA-RS emulates a
VT100 terminal – converting serial data from an ASCII device into VGA video (800x600 @ 60Hz signal).
Note: The HA-RS Host Adapter will only work with User Stations programmed with firmware version 2.0 and later.
Note: All Host Adapters must be programmed with firmware version 2.0 in order to work with a User Station programmed
with firmware version 2.0 and later. See “Please Note...” on page i.
When connecting to an HA-RS through Command Mode (page 19) a terminal screen will be presented with a connection to the
serial device. The terminal screen will include available functions for the user interface listed at the bottom.

The user can either communicate to the serial device or use the <Ctrl> key in conjunction with <Fx> keys to control the colors of
the interface, the connection parameters of the HA-RS, or view up to 10 pages of data that has been viewed through the HA-RS
from the serial device. Control options are as follows:
Key Strokes Function
<Ctrl>-<F1> Help Menu
<Ctrl>-<F2> Setup Screen to setup connection parameters
<Ctrl>-<F3> Setup Programmable keys
