ACCESSING THE CONFIGURATION
1 INTERFACE
This chapter explains how to attach to the configuration interface locally via the console port or remotely via a Telnet session. This chapter also introduces you to the capabilities and conventions associated with management of your OfficeConnect Remote 812.
Establishing Communications with the OfficeConnect Remote 812
Local Connection If you want to attach locally to the OfficeConnect Remote 812 via the console (serial) port, you will need to connect the supplied serial cable to the Console Port located on the unit and the Serial Port on your computer. In addition, you will also need a terminal emulation program appropriate for your computer. See the following subsections for various emulation options.
No matter which emulator you use, configure your settings to:
9600 baud
8 data bits
no parity
1 stop bit
direct connect
IBM-PC Compatible Computers
Windows Terminal (included with Microsoft Windows) and ProComm Plus are popular communications packages which support VT100 terminal emulation for
Macintosh Computers
ProComm, MicroPhone, White Knight, Kermit, Red Ryder, VersaTerm and ZTerm (a shareware application available on the Internet and many online services) are popular communications programs which carry vt100 terminal emulation service for Macintosh computers. If you don’t have a communications package or your program doesn’t support vt100 emulation, ZTerm will function just as well.
