DLP-001
Perform Steps Below in the Order Listed
1. Connect a VT100 terminal to ATLAS 550.
2. Connect a PC emulating a VT100 terminal to ATLAS 550.
Most personal computers or laptops can run communications software that will emulate a VT100
terminal. Windows programs such as Terminal© or Hyperterminal© are two such examples in the
Windows format. However, there are many other adequate, commercially available software packages
which will allow your PC or laptop to emulate a VT100 terminal. Certain configuration items must be
set on a PC or laptop for it to act as a VT100 terminal for the ATLAS 550.
You are now ready to log in to ATLAS 550, as described in DLP-002, Logging in to the System.
Follow-up Procedures
Once this procedure is complete, return to the procedure which referred you to this DLP and continue with
the tasks indicated there.
• Set the parameters of the VT100 terminal to:
– 9600 baud rate
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control
• If the terminal has a parallel setting, disable it and use serial port.
• Plug the RJ-45 male end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550. Make the connection to the
VT100 terminal as appropriate for your equipment.
• Set the parameters of the communications software to:
– 9600 baud rate
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control
• Set the PC for direct connect on the appropriate com port (instead of dial up connection).
• Plug the RJ-45 male end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550. Make connection to the PC
or laptop as appropriate for your equipment.
