Installation Notes
2.7
Initialize Connected Serial Devices
Connect a terminal to a terminal server serial port, turn its power ON, and press RETURN (or
ENTER) a few times until the terminal server recognizes your device. Note that the terminal
server serial port automatically adjusts to the communication speed of your terminal (75 bps -
38.4K bps, using 8-bit characters with no parity, or 7-bit characters with even parity; above
38.4K bps you must specify a fixed port speed). When the terminal server responds, it
generates the following message which appears on your screen:
Welcome to the Xyplex terminal server
Enter username>
Type in your name, your initials, or a nickname -- whatever you would like to be known as
while you are connected, then press RETURN again. You can type up to 16 characters
(numbers or letters). This name is your identifier during this session. If you choose, you can
change it each time you make a connection to the terminal server.
☞
Until permanent operational parameters are stored, the server will display the
following message when you log in:
Xyplex -901- Default parameters in use.
This is a normal message.
After you enter your username, the terminal server responds with the following prompt:
Xyplex>
The Terminal Server 720 is now ready to accept commands to configure the terminal server
and its ports. For example, you can obtain on-screen information about the terminal server
commands by typing HELP and pressing the RETURN or ENTER key.
☞
Some commands require a higher privilege level. Section 4.4 describes how you
become a privileged user.
