Chapter 32 Using The Smt; About The Smt; Establishing A Console Port Connection - ZyXEL Communications Vantage Service Gateway VSG-1200 V2 User Manual

This chapter introduces the SMT (System Management Terminal) and shows you how to use
the SMT to configure the VSG.

32.1 About the SMT

The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu – driven interface that you use to
configure the VSG. Access the SMT using the console port.
Note: You can connect the CONSOLE port on the VSG directly to a computer serial
port or to a statement printer (also known as an account generator printer).
Make sure the CONSOLE port is set to the correct mode. Refer to
page 42
Use the SMT to set general system settings, configure the LAN and WAN settings, change the
administrator login password, upgrade firmware or reset the device to the factory defaults.
For advanced configuration, use the web configurator. Refer to the corresponding web
configurator chapters for background information.

32.1.1 Establishing a Console Port Connection

After the VSG is directly connected to a computer using the console port, turn on the computer
and run a terminal emulation program (for example, Hyper Terminal in Windows) and
configure its communication parameters as follows:
• 9600 bits per second.
• Parity none
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• Flow-control none.
