NAVIGATING THE TERMINAL MENU

Log in to the unit by connecting one end of the supplied silver cable to the RJ-45 interface labeled
CRAFT
(located on the rear of the unit) and the other to a RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. Connect the DB-9 (female) to a
VT100 terminal or PC with VT100 emulator software. Configure the terminal settings for 9600 data rate,
no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
After connecting to the unit and beginning a terminal session, a login screen appears. The default condition
for the unit is no password, so the user can just press enter at the Login prompt. (Refer to DLP-002,
Logging in to the System, for detailed instructions.)

Terminal Menu Window

The unit uses a multi-level menu structure that contains both menu items and data fields. All menu items
and data fields display in the terminal menu window (see Figure 1), through which you have complete
control of the unit.

Menu Path
The first line of the terminal menu window (the menu path) shows the session's current position (path) in
the menu structure. For example, Figure 1 shows the top-level menu with the cursor on the
S I
YSTEM NFO
submenu; therefore, the menu path reads TA 600R/System Info.
