The guide says: "Then once connected to your terminal program (such as putty)..."
But what's the command to connect? Or is it automatically recognised?

The RS232 connection is automatic, so no need for user name or password. A reboot of the receiver may be needed to see the data flow, unless you patiently wait for something to be shown.

Connecting to a fta receiver using RS232 has become nothing short of a complicated mess as shown in the post #1 attachment. There are several cables available that are RJ12 to RS232, but they are not all wired the same. Not many computers have a RS232 terminal, so you have to use a USB to RS232 adapter which has its own set of problems or difficulties.
