Preparing the hardware
for installation
To initially access the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU user interface, you will need to connect a
control device to the IDSU control port. Two control ports are provided, a DCE port for
connecting a terminal (or a PC running terminal emulation software), and a DTE port for
connecting a terminal or PC via a modem.
To use either port, your control device and the IDSU must be set to the same baud rate,
parity, data and stop bits. The IDSU comes from the factory set as follows:
Baud = 9600
Parity = None
Data-bits-per-character = 8
Stop-bits-per-character = 1
You can set your terminal to match the IDSU, or set the IDSU to match your terminal.
This chapter shows you how to change the IDSU settings.
