Microsoft Telnet version 1.0 does not implement full VT-100 emulation. How-
ever, many commercial Telnet clients for Microsoft Windows exist which fully
implement VT-100. In addition, a freeware client which is recommended for op-
timum performance is delivered with the ATLAS
_ 800
PLUS
. See “VT-100” on
page 10-3 for details.
For detailed information on the commands available during a Telnet session, refer
to Chapter 5, “Using the Terminal Menu” on page 5-1.
VT-100 Operation
An EIA-232 serial connection is available via the chain-in port on the rear panel of
the ATLAS
_ 800
PLUS
. The ATLAS _ 800

VT-100 type terminal. Follow these steps to set up the ATLAS _ 800
PLUS
for VT-100
terminal mode:
1. Set the baud rate on the VT-100 terminal to 9600 baud (8/N/1).

PLUS
baud rate to match the terminal

3. Use the ADTRAN-provided VT-100 terminal adapter to connect the COM

local and remote configuration.
