Console TAP Commands
Perform the following steps:
1.
Set up your computer’s hyperterminal window as shown in the previous pages.
2.
Connect the ETAP cable and RS232 to TTL level shifter to the serial data port on your com-
puter. Connect the other end of the ETAP cable to the Boselink connector on the back of the
321 II console.
3.
Open the hyperterminal window and connect to the console by selecting CALL. Once
hyperterminal is showing “connected” in the bottom left of the window, you can go to step 4.
4.
Apply power to the console.
Note:
In order to get the console into TAP mode, you will need to have power removed from the
console. Turning the console OFF using the ON-OFF button on the console does not completely
remove power as required. After about 10 seconds from when power is applied, you should see
the boot prompt “>” in the hyperterminal window to let you know that the console has booted.
5.
Issue a TAP Command. Once you see this prompt, you have about 10 seconds to issue a
TAP command to put the console into TAP mode. Any TAP command will do, but be sure to use
a safe one that does not change any parameters you may not want changed. A good command
to use is “FT” listed below. If you do not issue a TAP command within this window, the console
will revert to Smart Speaker mode and will not respond to TAP commands.
