4 Be sure you have assigned a common SNMP community name to the
AccessBuilder and your workstation. The default community name is
abconfig.
(Only if a local console or modem is attached)
If a terminal or modem is attached to the console port and does not seem
to be operating properly, follow the troubleshooting procedures
recommended by the terminal/modem manufacturer. Also perform the
following steps:
1 Make sure that the cable connections at both ends are secure.
2 Ensure that the cable attached to the AccessBuilder is the proper cable
(straight-through for a terminal/PC and null modem for a modem).
If connecting to a terminal, a straight-through cable conforming to the
VT-100 specification must be used. This applies only to the AccessBuilder
4000.
3 Check the console port configuration.
Refer to the "AccessBuilder Software Configuration Guide" for more
information. Verify that the terminal/PC or modem is configured as 8 data
bits, no parity, one stop bit, 9600 baud rate, with flow control parameters
set to Xon and Xoff (software flow control).
(Only if a local console is attached)
If the AccessBuilder power is on but the terminal fails to respond to
commands entered at the keyboard, try the following procedures:
1 Verify that a straight-through cable is used between the AccessBuilder and
the terminal or workstation running the terminal emulator.
2 Power off the terminal, wait 30 seconds, and then power it on again.
