Setting Up a Terminal or Terminal Emulator

After the Equalizer hardware, you need to directly connect a terminal to Equalizer to complete the hardware
configuration.

Serial Connection

When you set up Equalizer for the first time, you must use a serial connection in order to configure Equalizer's
network with the
eqadmin
terminal, or any system (such as a Windows or Unix PC) running terminal emulation software.
Configure your terminal or terminal emulator software to use the following settings:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• no parity
• one stop bit
• VT100 terminal emulation
• ignore hang-ups (if supported); this allows a single terminal session to continue running even if Equalizer
restarts

any other Unix serial communication program.
