Communication Port Settings
7976-A2-GB20-10
You can communicate with the Hotwire Model 7976 Standalone Termination Unit
with an asynchronous terminal interface (ATI) using one of the following methods:
Direct connection through the COM port.
Telnet session through the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC).
NOTE:
Only one 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 Table A-5,
Options, in Appendix A, Configuration Option Tables ).
Security can limit ATI access several ways. To limit user access or set up login
IDs, refer to Chapter 7,
Security
Ensure that the device you connect communicates using these settings:
Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.
Character length set to 8.
Parity set to None.
Stop Bits set to 1.
