24 Connecting to the Service Port
Connecting the Service Terminal
Once the service terminal has been attached to the SNC service port, a terminal emulation program will be
required to access the SNC's command line interface. Most operating systems come with HyperTerminal
or some other form of terminal emulation program by default. If a terminal emulation program is not present,
one should be available (or at least recommended) by your operating system provider.
Hardware Required
• RS-232 DB9F straight through cable
• RS-232 DTE terminal or desktop/laptop computer running terminal emulation software
Connecting using HyperTerminal
This section shows the steps to setup use the HyperTerminal program. Other terminal emulation programs
operate in a similar fashion.
1 Connect the straight through cable (and the 9- to 25-pin adapter if applicable) from the computer serial
(COM) port to the SNC service port.
2 On the service terminal, select the HyperTerminal icon and double-click on it.

5 Click OK .
Connecting using Telnet
In instances where command line access to the SNC is required and local access is not permissible, it is
possible to Telnet into the SNC. Telnet access should be reserved for remote update of the SNC clock, IP
information, or collection of a supportdump. For all other management tasks, the ADIC Management
Console is the preferred method of updating information.
