Configuring the Terminal
After completing all external connections, connect a terminal to the device to monitor the boot and other
procedures.
To configure the device, the terminal must be running terminal emulation software.
Ensure that the terminal emulation software is configured as follows:
1.
Connect the Chassis serial port to the switch module. The baud rate automatically boots up at 9600.
2.
Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
3.
Set Flow Control to none.
4.
Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
5.
Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not
Windows keys).
Note
When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft
Pack 2 or later is installed. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in
HyperTerminal's VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service
packs.
