Setting up the Serial Connection

VTrak has a Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage all of its functions,
including customization. A subset of the CLI is the Command Line Utility (CLU), a
user-level interface that manages your VTrak via your PC's terminal emulation
program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal. This procedure uses the serial cable
connection you made. See "Making Serial Cable Connections" on page 20.
To set up the serial connection:
1. Change your terminal emulation program settings to match the following
specifications:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
2. Start your PC's terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program.
3. Press Enter once to launch the CLI.
4. At the Login prompt, type administrator and press Enter.
5. At the Password prompt, type password and press Enter.
At this point, you are in the CLI. You can continue using the CLI to make
network settings or you can switch to the CLU. Go to:
• Setting up VTrak with the CLI (page 25)
• Setting up VTrak with the CLU (page 27)
