How to make a diag (diagnosis) cable and establish serial communication with Tejas
equipment using the Windows Hyperterminal
How to make Diag Cable ?

DIAG cable connects the DIAG port of Tejas equipment to the serial port of PC / Laptop. It establishes an
RS232 serial communication channel between the two. If PC is not having 9 pin serial-port then the
following configuration will be required.

[ TejasMux ]----[ Diag Cable ]----[ 9pin-to-USB converter ]----[ USB-to-USB cable ]----[ Laptop / PC ]

When making the diag cable, please give adequate attention to the pin numbering pattern on the
connectors, to ensure that the inter-pin connectivity is accurate.

If the DIAG port on the Tejas equipment is RJ45 type :

The following is the Pin configuration. Please prepare the RJ45 to 9pin diag cable as per the pin
configuration given below.

Pin RJ45 Color Code 9 Pin D-Sub Signal

1 White/Orange 1
2 Orange 3 RS232-Tx
3 White/Green 2 RS232-Rx
6 Green 4
5 White/Blue 5 GND
4 Blue 6
7 White/Brown 7
8 Brown 8
9

If the DIAG port on the Tejas equipment is 15-pin D-Sub port :

The following is the Pin configuration. Please prepare the 15pin to 9pin diag cable as per the pin
configuration given below. This cable can be used on TJ100CPR4 type of equipment.
15 Pin D -Sub Signal 9 Pin D -Sub Signal
6 DIAG-TXD 2 RS232-Rx
8 DIAG-RXD 3 RS232-Tx
7 GND 5 GND

The numbering pattern for a typical 15pin female D-Sub DIAG port located on the Tejas equipment is
shown below. Please keep this pin numbering as reference, and then create your diag cable accordingly.
After creating the cable please check the continuity with a meter and try it on working Tejas equipment.

If the DIAG port on the Tejas equipment is USB port :

The following is the Pin configuration. Please prepare the USB to 9pin diag cable as per the pin
configuration given below.

USB connector pin number 9 Pin D-Sub connector pin number

1 1
2 2
3 3

Communication
Hyper terminal, a new window of Hyper

terminal will open which is as shown below,

Provide the required name and select OK for the same (contd..)

The second window will be like this

Select Restore Defaults and then change the bits per second to 57600.

(Select 9600 bits per second for MC-1 [old], LT, MC-4, and MC-4L)

And then select OK

This will set the hyper terminal for the console access. Now connect the Diag cable to the Diag port.

MC1 - The base card has this port

CP- The base card has this port

MC4L- The SCU card has this port

MC16- The XCC card has this port.

To find out the Ethernet IP of the Node, please follow these steps:

Once you connect the HyperTerminal, the console will ask the login and password.

It is tejas // j72e#05t

After the above please type the following command and press Enter key.

ifconfig eth0

A block of information will be displayed immediately on the screen. The INET address in the second line
specifies the Ethernet IP address of the node

An example output is as shown: -

eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:95:05:A6: 31
