Local SCP-1 Serial Craft Port
Access
1. Connect to the SCP-1 port directly and open a VT100 terminal emulation program. (For cabling
information, see Cabling the Serial Craft Port on page 2-9.)
2. Press ENTER, and you should see the
NSP1>
or
NSP2>
prompt. Follow the instructions on
page 3-13 to log into the system.
Remote Modem SCP-1 Serial Craft Port Access
1. Connect a modem to the SCP-1 directly using a modem cable and configure the modem
appropriately. Follow the modem manufacturers instructions to set the modem for connection
via RS232 at 9600bps, 8 data bits, no parity and one stop bit at the DTE port. The modem should
be set to auto-answer incoming calls and local echo options should be disabled.
NOTE:
It is particularly important to ensure that all local CONNECT messages and
terminal echo options are disabled on the modem as these messages arriving at the
BROAD way system from a modem port can be interpreted as command line interface
strings.
2. Dial in to the modem using a VT100 terminal emulation program and, once the modem has
trained and answered you should be presented with the
NSP1>
or
NSP2>
prompt. Follow the
instructions on page 3-13 to log into the system.
