Connecting to the Stratum
Using the Console Port
The RJ-45 connector on the back of the Stratum labeled CONSOLE allows connection to any standard RS-232C
terminal emulator that supports VT-100. This method requires physical access to one of the Stratum IDU units (both
units, if the wireless link is not available).
Note
: It is important to use the DB-9 adapter supplied by Proxim, even if you use a DB-9 to DB-25 adapter to match
your PC or laptop’s COM port. The adapter supplied by Proxim converts the RJ-45 CONSOLE port wiring to
standard COM port wiring.
The simplest way to access the console is to connect the IDU to a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator, such as
HyperTerminal. The communications settings for the console terminal must be:
•
9600 baud
•
8 bits
•
No parity
•
1 stop bit
•
No flow control
•
VT-100 emulation
Alternately, you may use a VT-100 terminal. Note that some terminal emulators, like HyperTerminal, default to
“auto emulation.” You may need to manually configure the session to use VT-100 as the emulation type within the
Settings tab of the session’s Properties screen.
Once the PC is attached to the console port and the power is turned on, the login screen will appear, as shown below.
