Using the Asynchronous Terminal
Interface
2
User Interface Access
You can communicate with the Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) using one
of the following methods:
Direct connection through the Terminal port.
Dialing in through an external modem to the Terminal port.
Telnet session through the Management port (locally or via an external
modem).
Telnet session through the Facility Data Link (FDL).
NOTE:
Only one asynchronous terminal interface session can be active at a time,
and another user’s session cannot be forced to end. To automatically log out
a user due to inactivity, enable the Inactivity Timeout option (see
Terminal
Port Options
, Table A-5).
The user interface is blank until activated. Press Return to activate the user
interface. Security can limit ATI access several ways. To setup security or a login
ID, refer to

Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.
Character length set to 8.
Parity set to None.
Stop Bits set to 1.
To change Terminal port settings, refer to
