Terminal Mode Control; Modem Terminal Mode Control - Radyne DMD20 Installation And Operation Manual

User Interfaces
Link Status: The following status is available under the Monitor Menu/Link Status Sub-Menu
when the Ethernet Data Interface is selected:
Port 1 Status: Displays the current status of LAN Port 1.
Port 2 Status: Displays the current status of LAN Port 2.
Port 3 Status: Displays the current status of LAN Port 3.
WAN Status: Displays the current status of the WAN Port.
For each of the above-listed ports, the status may take on one of the following
values/meanings.
Down: The link is down.
Unresolved: Unable to agree on connection speed.
10 Mbps Half: Connected at 10 Base-T Half Duplex.
10 Mbps Full: Connected at 10 Base-T Full Duplex.
100 Mbps Half: Connected at 100 Base-T Half Duplex.
100 Mbps Full: Connected at 100 Base-T Full Duplex.
If all four LAN Ports are down, a Tx Data Activity Minor Alarm will be generated.
If the WAN Port is down, a Tx and Rx Ethernet WAN Major Alarm will be generated.

4.9 Terminal Mode Control

The DMD20 Terminal Mode Control allows the use of an external terminal or computer to monitor
and control the modem from a full screen interactive presentation operated by the modem itself.
No external software is required other than VT-100 Terminal Emulation Software (e.g.
"Procomm" for a computer when used as a terminal. The Control Port is normally used as an
RS–232 Connection to the terminal device. The RS-232 operating parameters can be set using
the modem Front Panel and stored in EEPROM for future use (refer to Section 4.11 for setup and
terminal screens).

4.9.1 Modem Terminal Mode Control

The modem can be interactively monitored and controlled in the Terminal Mode, with a full screen
presentation of current settings and status. Programming is accomplished by selecting the item
to be modified and pressing the terminal key of the option number. For example, to change the
transmit data rate, enter '33' at the terminal. The modem will respond by presenting the options
available and requesting input. Two types of input may be requested. If the input is multiple
choice, the desired choice is selected by pressing the 'Space' key. When the desired option is
displayed, press the 'Enter' key to select that option. The other possible input type requires a
numerical input (such as entering a frequency or data rate. This type of input is followed by
pressing the 'Enter' or carriage return key. An input can be aborted at any time by pressing the
'ESC' key. Invalid input keys cause an error message to be displayed on the terminal.
The Terminal Control Mode supports serial baud rates of 150, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, and 38400. The connection must be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity (8,N,1).
Three terminal emulations are supported: VT-100, WYSE 50, and ADDS-VP.
"$" is used for setting the screen when the terminal is used for the first time the non-volatile
memory is reset.
