Hyperterm is a terminal emulation program available under all Windows platforms.
Configure the Hyperterm or equivalent Terminal Emulation program to run at 19.2K, 8-N-1 with
no hardware handshaking. Under settings, configure emulation to Auto Select.
Note:
Some users may experience difficulties with Auto Select. If you are one of these users,
please change to VT-100 emulation.
Before you configure the SafeLINC FPII on the boot prompt, you need to check out if the MIS/IT
configured IP address for where you intend to install the SafeLINC FPII is active on the network.
Since the SafeLINC FPII is not yet operational at this point, you should not be able to successfully
communicate with the assigned IP address. To perform this check, you will use a Windows Utility
called Ping.
•
Open a DOS Window on any PC connected to same LAN as the SafeLINC FPII.
•
At the DOS Prompt, type in:
ping
ip_address
Substitute the
ip_address
parameter for the actual IP Address assigned by the MIS/IT
Department for the SafeLINC FPII. For example, ping 192.168.0.1 and press Enter.
C:\>ping 192.168.0.1
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
