4.5. Terminal menu
This general-purpose serial terminal is
intended mainly for test and debug
purposes. After a successful connection
is established with a router this terminal
can be used either via serial or TCP/IP
connection. All commands can be used
here
that
are
discussed
in
Programmer’s reference
, chapter
7
, on
page
49
. The text can be typed directly.
By default commands are automatically
surrounded by framing brackets. Every
sent command and every received
response gets an arrow (-> or <-) prefix,
and has different font colors in order to
help distinguishing.
If the “Command framing” checkbox is
unchecked, you can send multiple
commands together, however in this
case you have to type in the framing
brackets manually.
4.6. STATUS menu
Basic device information, such as
the installed cards‟ firmware and hardware
revisions are displayed in this window.

Info:
If the device is connected via RS-232, the IP address field shows
“serial connection” instead of the IP address.
If the matrix is connected via IP connection, the serial and IP settings can be
viewed by clicking on the “Serial and IP Settings...” button.
