Agilent Technologies 75000 SERIES B, E1301B, E1300B user manual Configuring the Mainframe with Menus

Trying it Turn on the mainframe while watching the terminal’s display. After the mainframe finishes its self-test, the terminal should display "Select an instrument". If not, the mainframe’s communication parameters are not set to the default values. Go back to “Restoring the Default Configuration”.

Configuring the Mainframe with Menus

After you have your terminal communicating with your mainframe at the default settings you may want to change to settings which are better for your installation. You can make these changes to the serial interface configuration using the Display Terminal Interface menus. Several of the changes you can make using the menus will cause communication between the terminal and mainframe to be lost. You will have to match each change in the mainframe configuration with a corresponding change in your terminal’s configuration. Use the following procedure:

1.Change the mainframe configuration (see the menu example on page C-5).

2.Change the terminal’s configuration to match the change from step one. Repeat steps one and two for each desired configuration change.

Any changes you make to the mainframe configuration are only temporary (lost when power is removed) until you put them into non-volatile storage. To store the current configuration, follow the menu example on page C-6.
