Associated with the Craft Port connector are two LEDs (
VT100
and
TV 925
) and
one pushbutton (
SELECT
), which are used to select the type of terminal con-
nected to the Craft Port and to initiate auto-bauding. Changes made using the
SELECT
pushbutton affect the Craft Port only; the Supervisory Port located on
the rear panel is not affected.
Note:
The
SELECT
pushbutton is recessed behind the front
panel of the Series 200 and 400 units and requires a pointed
implement to reach it.
Intended for a first-time or a temporary installation (by craft personnel, for
example), the Craft Port does not require a password. Also, the Craft Port is
intended for local use only and therefore does not support modem dial out.
Refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on how to establish communications via the
Craft Port.
Automatic Baud Rate Detection
The Craft Port is equipped with an auto-baud configuration feature. This feature
aids in establishing communications between the Craft Port and a terminal.
The auto-baud feature is activated by pressing the
SELECT
pushbutton, as
described in Setting the Communication Parameters Via the Craft Port in
Chapter 6. Pressing the
Enter
key repeatedly while auto-baud is active enables
Access-T to calculate and lock on to the terminal’s baud rate.
