21.1 Introduction to the SMT

The System Management Terminal (SMT) is a menu – driven interface that you use to configure the VSG. Access
the SMT using the console port.
You can connect the CONSOLE port on the VSG directly to a computer serial port or to a
statement printer (also known as an account generator printer).
Make sure the CONSOLE port is set to the correct mode. Refer to the chapter on system settings
Use the SMT to set general system settings and upgrade firmware. For advanced configuration, use the embedded
web configurator (refer to the chapters on configuration using the web configuration).
21.1.1

Establishing a Console Port Connection

After the VSG is directly connected to a computer using the console port, turn on the computer and run a terminal
emulation program (for example, Hyper Terminal in Windows) and configure its communication parameters as
follows:
9600 bits per second.
Parity none, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, flow-control none.
