Modem Setup For Terminal Mode; Terminal Port User Interface - Radyne DMD2050 Operation Manual

User Interfaces
This type of input is followed by pressing the 'Enter' or carriage return key. An input can be
aborted at any time by pressing the 'ESC' key. Invalid input keys cause an error message to be
displayed on the terminal.
The Terminal Control Mode supports serial baud rates of 150, 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, and 38400. The connection must be set for 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity (8,N,1).
Three terminal emulations are supported: VT-100, WYSE 50, and ADDS-VP.
"$" is used for setting the screen when the terminal is used for the first time the non-volatile
memory is reset.

4.9.2 Modem Setup for Terminal Mode

Terminal Mode Communications and Protocol is set from the Front Panel Control by setting the
"Control Mode" Parameter to "Terminal", and then setting the "Modem Port", "Term Baud" and
"Emulation" Parameters as desired. Then a terminal is connected to Connector J5 on the Back
Panel. All operating software for the Terminal Mode is contained within the DMD2050 Modem
Internal Control Software.
A "break" signal on the communications line, pressing "ESC" on the terminal or Power On of the
modem will initiate full screen terminal mode printing and redraw the full screen. The Terminal
Mode displays the present status of all user parameters controlled and read by the processor,
and offers a menu allowing change to any controlled parameter.
The Terminal Mode uses eight "Screens," each of which have the basic contents of the three
modem monitor and control areas as set in the Front Panel matrix columns. This screen is used
for setting the parameters of the Modulator, Demodulator, Event, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Drop
Controls, Insert Controls, and Interface Areas.

4.10 Terminal Port User Interface

The Remote Port (J20) of the DMD2050 allows for complete control and monitoring of all
DMD2050 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.
