Microsoft Telnet version 1.0 does not implement full VT-100 emulation. How-
ever, many commercial Telnet clients for Microsoft Windows exist which fully
implement VT-100. In addition, a freeware client which is recommended for op-
timum performance is delivered with the ATLAS_800PLUS. See “VT-100” on
page 10-3 for details.
For detailed information on the commands available during a Telnet session, refer
to Chapter 5, “Using the Terminal Menu” on page 5-1.
VT-100 Operation
An EIA-232 serial connection is available via the chain-in port on the rear panel of
the ATLAS_800PLUS. The ATLAS_800PLUS provides the front panel menus to a
VT-100 type terminal. Follow these steps to set up the ATLAS_800PLUS for VT-100
terminal mode:
1. Set the baud rate on the VT-100 terminal to 9600 baud (8/N/1).
2. Use the front panel to set the ATLAS_800PLUS baud rate to match the terminal
baud rate. Select 2) CONFIG, S0) SYSTEM, 2) CHAIN PORT, then 1) BAUD
RATE.
3. Use the ADTRAN-provided VT-100 terminal adapter to connect the COM
port of a VT-100 compatible terminal, or equivalent, to the eight-pin modular
jack labeled CONTROL on the rear of the unit. This connection provides both
local and remote configuration.
4. Repeatedly press Enter on the front panel until the Login Menu appears.
After connecting a VT-100 terminal or a computer running VT-100 terminal-emu-
lation software to this port, you may need to press Ctrl-R to refresh the display.
Refer to “Using the Terminal Menu” on page 5-1 for detailed information on
using the terminal menus.
When you begin the VT-100 session, you will be prompted for a password. The
default password is password (which is a Level 0 superuser password). You can
change this password using the Access Passwords option, which is only accessible
through the terminal menu. See “Access Passwords” on page 5-16 for details.
