Connecting the Local Terminal/Setting the Baud Rate

The following explains how to connect a local terminal and set the baud rate. The Octel 200/300 default
baud rate for the direct terminal connection is 9600. You can adjust the baud rate by using the BAUD
command.
1. Connect the terminal to the RS-232C connector marked J1 in the rear of the cabinet or to SP1 in the
front.
2. Turn the terminal ON and set the terminal baud rate.
Set the terminal baud rate to any of the valid rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or
38400.
3. Turn the message server power ON.
Immediately following power up, press
establish the baud rate at this time the header and diagnostic messages print at 9600 baud.
Upon power up, the message server executes a power-on selftest diagnostic, or Boot ROM
diagnostic. Wait for the operating system to load and the diagnostic selftest to finish. If the tests were
completed successfully, the Octel 200/300 displays INITIALIZING PORTS...PORT
INITIALIZATION DONE. Refer to the Octel 200/300 Hardware Installation section in this chapter
for an illustration of the boot up screen.
4. When you see the Port Initialization Done prompt, press
5. When the password prompt displays, enter the password and press
.
6. The operating system @ prompt appears.
