Connecting the Unit
For the initial use, the unit should be connected to a computer or a VT100 terminal. To connect the unit,
simply connect a DB-9 straight-through male-to-female serial cable to the CONSOLE port (on the back)
and to your PC or VT100 terminal.
Accessing the CLI from Your PC
All products using the AOS are initially accessed by connecting a VT100 terminal to the unit or using a
terminal emulation program with a PC. Most Windows
which is located under Programs>Accessories>Communications. The latest versions of HyperTerminal
can also be downloaded from the Internet.
Emulation Settings
Once you have connected via VT100 terminal or have found the HyperTerminal program, set the program
settings as follows:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• No parity
• 1 stop bit
• No flow control
If you are using a HyperTerminal program, name your new connection and then set up the new connection
via the resulting dialogue box. The box allows you to determine the type of connection you are using.
Verify COM 1 and select OK.
Another dialogue box appears for entering the COM 1 properties. Enter the program settings in this box;
select APPLY and then OK. You should then be presented with a terminal window with which to interface
with your unit.
