Terminal Configuration Menu Operation
Introduction
This section provides information on the terminal configuration menu operation.
The ETI and TTI Menus
The Enhanced Terminal Interface (ETI) and the Text Terminal Interface (TTI) provides you with a user-
friendly interface to configure the Office and Remote Modules through the RS232 port.
The ETI menu operates using VT100 terminal emulation. If your PC doesn't have VT100 terminal emula-
tion you need to use the TTI menu which is used for TTY terminal emulation. The EXTender will automati-
cally detect if a VT 100 terminal is being used. If a VT100 is not being used the EXTender will revert to TTI.
Note, that pressing Ctrl T will cause the unit to try and auto-detect a VT100 terminal.
There are three methods to access the ETI/TTI menus
•
Power-up access
•
Continuous operation Dial-up data type access
•
Continuous operation Ethernet data type access
Power-up Access of the ETI/TTI Menu
The following method must be used to access the configuration menu when using the serial data type:
1.
To access the configuration menu, you must connect a terminal or PC to the RS-232 port of the Office
Module. The PC must be running a terminal emulation package. Configure your terminal or terminal
application to 9600bps, No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The terminal type should be set to VT100.
2.
Unplug the Office Module, and plug it back in after waiting a few seconds. When the Office Module is
powered-up, it will begin a specific blink sequence eventually ending with a series of 3 sets of yellow
blinks.
3.
Type the word MENU from your PC or terminal while the LED blinks its first set of 8 yellow flashes
described above. The Configuration menu will appear.
Dial-up Data Type Access of ETI/TTI Menu
If your Module's data type is Dial-up (the factory default data type) you can access terminal configuration at
any time from the AT command mode.
1.
To access the configuration menu you must connect a terminal or PC to the RS-232 port of the Office
Module. The PC must be running a terminal emulation package with terminal type set to VT100.
2.
Configure your PC COM port settings to match the Office Module.The factory default COM port set-
tings for dial-up data types are: 57600 bps, No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. If this has been changed
set your PC to use the current settings or use the Power-up Access Method (optional).
3.
From the AT command mode type AT@MENU followed by a RETURN key from your PC. The Con-
figuration menu will appear.
