4. Console Configuration

The LR0202A-KIT provides an RS-232C console port for user to monitor the OA&M status through a VT100 terminal. This section covers the operating procedures and settings for all screen selections.

Connect the RS-232 cable to the computer’s COM port as shown in Figure 4-1. Set the personal computer to VT100 or VT102 type through HyperTerminal. Press the <ESCAPE> key and the main menu will be shown on the terminal’s screen. The terminal operations can then start.

If you press the <ESCAPE> key and the screen of the terminal does not display, the COM port might be set incorrectly. Choose the correct COM port (COM1 or COM2) on the computer, and press the <ESCAPE> key again to make sure that the main menu appears on the terminal screen.

NOTE: Set the COM port should be set as 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
