Terminal Port User Interface

The Remote Port (J20) of the modem allows for complete control and monitoring of all
parameters and functions via an RS-232 Serial Interface, or RS-485 for RLLP Protocol. 'Terminal
Mode' can be entered from the front panel by selecting "System" and then "Control Mode"
followed by "Terminal". The baud rate and evaluation type can be changed at the front panel by
using the System>Baud Rate Menu.
The Terminal Control Mode is menu-driven and the allowable values for each item number will be
shown. To change an item, type in its number followed by <ENTER>. If the parameter to be
changed requires a numeric value, enter the number followed by <ENTER> If the parameter is
non-numeric, press <SPACE> to cycle through the list of available entries.
Items that do not have ID numbers are Status only and cannot be changed.
