••
Maintaining and Monitoring the Stratum 100 Stratum 100 Installation and Maintenance Guide
requires physical access to one of the Stratum 100 IDU units (both units, if the wireless link is
not available).
Note : It is important to use the DB-9 adapter supplied by Wavespan, even if you use a DB-9
to DB-25 adapter to match your PC or laptop COM port. The adapter supplied by Wavespan
converts the RJ-45 CONSOLE port wiring to standard COM port wiring.
The simplest way to access the console is to connect a PC system running a VT-100 terminal
emulator such as the HyperTerminal utility. The communications settings for the console
terminal must be:
•
9600 baud
•
8 bits
•
no parity
•
1 stop bit
•
no flow control
Once the PC is attached to the console port and the power is turned on, you will see the
following introductory screen:
