  • Page 169 To get a summary of the Batch Mode options from UBIOS, simply call UBIOS with the command line '?'. The command will display a Batch options summary of valid UBIOS command lines. The same help information will also be displayed each time UBIOS detects an error in the command line.

  • Page 170: Vt100 Mode

    VT100 MODE The TEK933 utilizes a feature known as VT100 Mode. This mode enables your single board computer to run without a local keyboard or screen. That is, operation can be controlled via a remote terminal supporting VT100 Mode or a computer with a terminal emulation program (for example, Telix, Procomm).

  • Page 171: Vt100 Setup & Configuration

    18.02 VT100 SETUP & CONFIGURATION Follow these steps for setting up VT100 Mode: • Power off your TEK933 and install jumper W8 (3-4) to enable VT100 Mode. Note: VT100 Mode runs on UART1 and UART2. • Connect the communications cable as shown in Diagram 18-1. Note: If you do not require a full cable for your terminal, you can set up a partial cable by using only the TXD and RXD lines.

  • Page 173: Running Without A Terminal

    18.03 RUNNING WITHOUT A TERMINAL The TEK933 can boot up without a screen or terminal attached. However, if VT100 Mode is desired, but the terminal is to be disconnected, you must ensure the control lines are in an active state. Failing this, the system may "hang" while waiting for the control lines to become active.

  • Page 182 The MTBF is estimated using the prediction data from MIL-HDBK-217F, Reliability Prediction of Electronic Equipment (Dec. 1991). The TEK933 board is considered functioning in a Ground Fixed environment as defined in MIL-HDBK-217F. The calculations are performed at 20 °C with a temperature rise of 10°C which is due to heat dissipated by active components.
