End of Procedure
Using Terminal Emulation Programs
The following programs have been tested:
•
MS HyperTerminal (serial connection): TERM=ansi or TERM=Linux
•
MS Telnet (Ethernet connection): TERM=vt100
•
CRT (serial or Ethernet connection): TERM=vt100 or TERM=xterm
•
ZOC (serial or Ethernet connection): TERM=vt100 or ansi
•
PuTTY (serial or Ethernet connection): xterm terminal emulator
HyperTerminal is an appropriate program for the initial login. ADVA recom-
mends PuTTY for logging in thereafter. PuTTY is a more secure way of access-
ing the NE because it supports the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) with an
encrypted communication protocol.
This section contains the following subsections:

Creating a Serial HyperTerminal Connection
This section summarizes using the terminal emulation program HyperTerminal,
which has been an integral part of Windows operating systems up to Windows
XP inclusively. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows7 as your operating
system, refer to
Creating a Serial PuTTY Connection
for information about an
appropriate terminal emulation program using this operating system.
HyperTerminal should be used when a direct connection to the NE has to be
established e.g. when accessing the NE for the first time. This can be realized
via serial cable or USB cable. This section describes the connection via serial
cable. For more information on the connection via USB cable, see

Note
After a period of 15 minutes of inactivity, the Craft Console is closed
automatically and the terminal emulation session is terminated. This
logout process driven by the Craft Console and not by the Linux
operating system itself. This timeout is not configurable.
