Patton electronic NetLink-E1 2715 user manual Software Configuration

NOTE: When the data rate is set to 2.048Mb/s, then the unit is forced into G.703 mode, and it transmits user data on all 32 times- lots. There is no framing information; therefore, the CAS MF (SW2)and CRC-4 (SW3) switches are ignored. In all other rate settings, the unit employs G.704 framing; TS0 is reserved for sig- naling.

3.2 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

The Model 2715 features a menu-driven command system that allows you to monitor/configure its operating parameters. Follow the instructions below to configure the Model 2715 using the software switches:

1)Plug the 9-pin male end of the cable to your terminal or com- puter’s DB-9 serial port and start up the terminal emulator software if necessary. Plug the miniature stereo plug into the rear of the unit. The small recessed jack on the right side of the unit is the control port jack.

NOTE: If your terminal uses a DB-25 connector, please use a DB-9 to DB-25 Adapter to connect to the cable (See Model 18PC-M).

2)Power up the terminal and set its RS-232 port as follows:

9600 Baud

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Local echo off

ANSI or VT-100 emulation

Xon/Xoff software flow control enabled

3)Here is an example of a terminal emulator setup session. In normal font are the various parameter types. In bold type are the values that should be used for best results. Your terminal program’s setup screen may differ from this one:

11

Baud rate: 9600	Parity: None	Data Length: 8	Stop Bits: 1
Default terminal type:		VT100
Local Echo:		Off
Add Line Feeds after CRs:		Off
Received Backspace Destructive:		On
Backspace key sends:		BS
XON/XOFF software flow control:		On
CTS/RTS hardware flow control:		Off
DSR/DTR hardware flow control:		Off

4)When the unit is first turned on, the terminal screen may appear blank. Press the [Enter] key. If your serial connection is good, then the unit will immediately display a password prompt. The following message will appear in the middle of the screen:

Menu Management

Enter Password: _

5)Type in the password and press [Enter]. The factory default password for the unit is:

patton

NOTE: The password is case sensitive. If the entry is incor- rect, the password screen will clear and prompt you again for the correct password. The password you enter will not be shown. For security, asterisks will be displayed for each letter you type. The maximum length of the password, which can include any character the terminal can generate, is 16 charac- ters.

6)The Model 2715 will then display the Main Menu screen.
