USING A MAINTENANCE TERMINAL

Connecting to a Maintenance Terminal

The craft port on the front panel allows you to connect the H4TU-C-319 to a maintenance terminal (ASCII terminal or PC running a terminal emulation program). Once connected to a maintenance terminal, you can access the maintenance, provisioning, and performance screens.

To connect to a maintenance terminal:

1Connect a standard 9-pin terminal cable to the RS-232 craft port (Figure 1 on page 3) on the H4TU-C-319 List 1 front panel.

2Connect the other end of the cable to the serial port on the maintenance terminal.

3Start a terminal emulation program such as Procomm (emulating a VT100 terminal).

4Configure the maintenance terminal to the following communication settings:

•9600 baud

•No parity

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•Hardware flow control to OFF

5If necessary, press CTRL + R to refresh the HDSL4 logon screen.
