Configuring a connection to the gateway in PuTTY

To configure a connection in PuTTY:

1. Run the PuTTY application.

   The PuTTY Configuration dialog box is displayed at startup. The Session option is selected by default in the Category panel of the dialog box.

2. In the Specify the destination you want to connect to → Connection type settings block, select the Serial option.
3. In the Serial line field, specify the name of the serial port corresponding to the connected USB-UART adapter (for example, /dev/ttyUSB0 in Linux or COM8 in Windows).

   In Linux, you can identify the port name by running the ls /dev/ttyUSB* command. If this command returns multiple names, you can run it again with the USB-UART adapter connected and then disconnected. The name that appears when the adapter is connected will be the one you're looking for.

   In Windows, you can identify the port name by running Device Manager. In the console tree, open the Ports (COM and LPT) folder and find the object corresponding to the connected USB-UART adapter. The object name will contain the name of the port in parentheses. For example, Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM8).

4. In the Speed field, set the data transfer speed value at 115200 baud/sec.
5. In the Category panel, select Session → Logging.
6. In the Session logging settings group, select the All session output option.
7. In the Log file name field, specify the path to the event log file.

   You can specify the file name in the following format: KISG100LOG_&Y_&M_&D_&T.log. In this case, a new log file will be created for each new PuTTY connection session, and the date and time of the session start will be automatically added to the file name.

8. In the Category panel, select Session.
9. In the Load, save or delete a stored session settings block, in the Saved Sessions field, specify the name of the connection with the gateway (for example: KISG100).
10. Click Save.
