Setting Terminal Communication 4-1
Chapter 4
Configuration
4.1 Introduction
The use of a terminal is optional for configuration, monitoring and maintenance
operations.
Terminal Management Modes
The MT1000A provides the following terminal management modes:
•
Monitor – A supervisory ASCII ANSI terminal or a PC emulating an ASCII ANSI
terminal connected directly to the MT1000A CONTROL port.
•
Ethernet – A PC running terminal emulation software or a management
workstation, connected to the MT1000A via an Ethernet cable. It must be
possible to activate Telnet and Web access after setting the IP address.
Up to three users can be active simultaneously, one connected to the terminal and
two via telnet or Web. When connected via Telnet or Web, the user is
disconnected after 10 minutes of inactivity (no keyboard input on the client
computer.)
MT1000A supports several management information bases (MIBs). Refer to
Appendix C for details.
4.2 Setting Terminal Communication
Setting the Terminal Communication Parameters
To set the terminal communication parameters:
1. Connect the terminal to the 9-pin CONTROL connector on the front panel of
the MT1000A over a null-modem cable – CBL-DB9M/ DB9F. If a PC is used,
run a terminal emulation program.
2. Set the default parameters of the terminal communication port to a baud rate
of 19,200 bps, 8 bits per character, one stop bit and no parity bit.
3. Disconnect the MT1000A from the mains, and then reconnect it to the mains.
4. Wait until the Test LED starts blinking. This indicates that the device is ready to
learn the baud rate of the terminal.
5. Press <Enter> or <.> at least four times.
