5 Install the Console Terminal
You will use the console terminal to communicate with your system.
1. Unpack the terminal and its documentation.
2. Use the instructions in the terminal installation guide to connect the
various parts of the terminal.
3. Turn on the terminal.
The terminal performs a self-test. The documentation for the terminal
describes a successful self-test and error messages you receive if the
terminal is not operating properly.
Once the terminal passes its self-test, you are ready to perform setup
operations.
5.1 Perform Setup Operations
Setup instructions for terminals vary according to model or according to
which read-only memory (ROM) is installed in the terminal. Be sure to:
• Read the documentation provided with your terminal.
• Follow the setup instructions for your terminal.
NOTE:
A new terminal from Digital has the baud rate set to 9600. If your
terminal is new and you want to use that rate, you can skip the baud rate
setup instructions.
If you have a dual-host system, you can use one terminal with dual sessions
instead of two terminals. See your terminal documentation for instructions.
Once you test the terminal and perform setup operations, you are ready to
connect the terminal to your system.
