Unless the remote settings are changed and the changes saved in non-volatile (flash) memory,
the SE4000 restores these default communications settings whenever the SE4000 is reset or
powered-up.
2.
Press the Enter key on the remote keyboard several times to generate a prompt (>) on
the remote display. Once a prompt appears on the remote display, successful
communication has been established between the SE4000 and the remote unit.
Once communications are established, the remote port parameters can be changed to a
faster operating speed.
If a prompt cannot be generated on the remote unit, follow these troubleshooting steps:
•
Ensure that the remote unit and the SE4000 are turned on and plugged into an active
AC outlet.
•
Verify that the baud rate and parity of the remote unit communications package
match the default factory setting of the SE4000 remote interface. Factory settings are
38400 baud, 8 data, no parity.
•
Verify that the cable between the terminal, the SE4000, and the Null Modem Adapter
are properly connected.
•
Ensure that the DTE/DCE switch is set to the DTE position.
