Most personal computers or laptops can run communications software that will emulate a
VT100 terminal. Windows programs such as Terminal or HyperTerminal are two such
examples in the Windows format, but there are many other adequate, commercially available
software packages, virtually all of which allow the PC or laptop to emulate a VT100 terminal.
Certain configuration items must be set on a PC or laptop to act as a VT100 terminal for the
Total Access 3000/3010.
1. Set the parameters of the communications software to the following settings:
• 9600 baud rate
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
2. Set the PC for direct connect on the appropriate communications port (as opposed to a
dial-up connection).
3. Plug the male end of the data cable into the Total Access 3000/3010 Controller Unit.
Make connections to the PC or laptop as appropriate to the equipment.
