NTI RACKMUX-T15 Quick Start Setup Manual page 3

Configuration
The terminal is delivered largely pre-configured. This section describes configuration for console serial or network connections.
Refer to the reference manual for details.
• Switch ON the terminal using the power switch located at the rear of the keyboard.
• Hold down the <ALT> key and then depress the <Esc> key to enter Setup Mode.
• Adjust the screen's brightness with the controls marked + and - located at the rear of the keyboard.
• If the screen image is not centered correctly, activate LCD auto-setup by pressing the 'Select' button at the rear of the keyboard.
This should only be done when displaying the terminal setup screen. To navigate the setup menus, use a function key to enter a
setup menu, and then use the arrow keys to highlight the field to be changed. Use the space key to change the value of a
parameter. Use <F12> to return to the top level menu, and <F12> again to leave setup mode. The user will be prompted at this
point if the setup parameters are to be saved for future sessions.
The terminal is delivered pre-configured with the following settings suitable for most RS232 serial console connections at 9600
baud using VT-100 emulation.

For use with an Ethernet connection the following parameters need to be configured:
• Display Setup (F1 in setup mode)
Page Length = 1*Lines (only required if 'Multiple Sessions=On')
• Communications Setup (F4 in setup menu)
Multiple Sessions = Off or On
Ethernet Mode = On
Auto Connect = Off or On
'Multiple Sessions=On' should be set if multiple telnet sessions are required.
'Auto Connect=On' is used to prevent the need to press return to establish a telnet connection.
• LAN Setup (F9 in setup mode)
Local IP Address = IP address of the terminal
Netmask = Netmask value for the network
Gateway = gateway address if required by the network
Remote IP 0 Address = IP address of first server Port = 23
Remote IP 1 Address = IP address of second server Port = 23
....
Remote IP B Address = IP address of twelfth server Port = 23
Term Type = Same as personality specified in General Setup menu
Ethernet Node ID = leave at default value
Note: If only one host is being connected to, all twelve Remote IP addresses and ports should be set to the same value.
Note: Eight separate telnet sessions are allowed if any columns other than Econ-80 is selected in Terminal Display Set-
up. If Econ-80 is selected, the Multiple Sessions option allows twelve concurrent telnet sessions to be used.
