Accessing the Control Port and Main Menu
Use the following steps to configure your COM software to recognize and access
the Vanguard 100 PC.
Step
Action
1
Ensure that the rear panel DIP switch is set to enable for the CP switch,
and press the Reset button. Wait 1 minute.
2
Set your terminal emulation software to VT100, 9600 bps, 8 bit, no
parity, 1 stop bit.
3
Invoke the terminal emulation. Type <CR>, and the * or OK prompt
will appear.
4
Accessing the CTP depends on your prompt:
If you see *, type .ctp<CR>
If you see OK, type atds0<CR>
The CTP banner appears as shown in Figure 3-1.
If no prompt appears, verify that these steps have been followed
correctly.
5
Enter your password and type <CR>. The Main menu appears as shown
in Figure 3-2.
Note: The default password is blank. If a password has been set, and
you have forgotten it, you can use JAGPBDPW to access the node.
This feature is only available if the CP switch is enabled.
On the rear panel, the DIP switch labeled CP forces the internal Port 3 to a PAD
or ATPAD protocol running at 9600 bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. You must
ensure that your terminal emulation program is configured to these settings.
(VT100 terminal emulation is recommended.)
