Communicating via a Terminal or PC
You can connect to Terminal Server using a terminal or PC (with a terminal emulation
package such as Hyperterm).
1. Connect a terminal or your PC to port 1. The Terminal Server serial ports are DTE type
RS-232 ports. When connecting a terminal/ PC directly (without modems), the RS-232
signals need to be crossed over ('null modem' cable). See
pinout information.
2. For a terminal/PC to communicate with a server, set it to the following: 9.6 kbps, eight
data bits, one stop bit, software flow control, no parity.
After powering up your Terminal Server, you are prompted to enter a 'Local login:>'.
3. You can just hit any character and at this point (the character is required).
The next prompt displayed is local>, which is the Command Line Interface (CLI) prompt.
You can now move to The Menu System. See
Terminal Server User Guide
Communicating via a Terminal or PC
Note
If there are any problems, check the cable you are using (this is the
most common error). Port 1 is configured to provide error messages
should any problems occur. See
more information on problems.
