Communication with Terminal Program

Data Terminal
If a VIP XD cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is interrupted,
you can connect a data terminal to the VIP XD for initial setup and setting of important
parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.
You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer
and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VIP XD (see Section Pin Assignment,
page 66).
HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used
as the terminal program.

Information on installing and using HyperTerminal can be found in the manuals or in the online
