To connect your equipment:
1 Connect the serial port on your terminal or management station to
the console port on the unit, using a null modem cable.
2 Ensure that the terminal or management station’s serial port settings
match those of the console port on the unit.
Using a Terminal Emulator
If you do not have a terminal, you can use a terminal emulator to
access the command line interface. Microsoft Windows comes with a
suitable terminal emulator:
■
Windows 95 and Windows NT (version 4 or later) have a program
called ‘HyperTerminal’.
■
Other versions of Windows have a program called ‘Terminal’.
For other types of management stations and operating systems, refer
to the documentation that accompanies your application for
information on how to use it.
HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal can usually be found from the Windows Start menu,
in Programs, Accessories. To start a HyperTerminal session (after
connecting to the unit’s console port):
1 Double-click on the ‘Hypertrm.exe’ icon to start the application. The
Connection Description dialog box appears.
2 Type a name for the session in the Name field and click OK. The
Phone Number dialog box appears.
3 Select the serial port (for the management station) that you are using
to connect to the unit, in the Connect using field.
The COM Properties dialog box appears.
4 Configure the fields as follows and click OK:
■
Bits per second — any setting no higher than 19,200
■
Data bits — 8
■
Parity — None
■
Stop bits — 1
■
