Appendix B: Using AVRIQ-SRL Modules

The AVRIQ-SRL module is a serial-to-VGA converter which permits VT100-

capable devices to be viewed from the AutoView 1000R/2000R local port or by

using the AVWorks software. The actual serial data is not accessed, but is

merely displayed. All serial data coming from the target device is displayed in

a VT100 window, placed into a video buffer and sent to the AutoView 1000R/

2000R appliance as though it came from a VGA server. Likewise, keystrokes

entered on a keyboard are sent to the attached device as though they were

typed upon a VT100 terminal.

AVRIQ-SRL module modes

The following modes can be accessed from the AVRIQ-SRL module:

• On-Line - This mode enables you to send and receive serial data.

• History - This mode enables you to review serial data.

• Conﬁ guration - This mode enables you to specify communication param-

eters, the appearance of the serial data, key combinations for speciﬁ c

actions and macros.

Configuring the AVRIQ-SRL

NOTE: The AVRIQ-SR L module is a DCE device and only s upports VT100 terminal emulat ion.

Pressing Ctrl-F8 will activate the Configuration Screen, which contains menu

items that allow you to configure your AVRIQ-SRL module.

NOTE: When the Conﬁ guration Screen is active, pressing Enter saves changes and returns you

to the previous screen. Pressing Esc returns you to the previous screen without saving changes.

Within the Configuration Screen, you can modify the following options:

• Baud Rate - This option allows you to specify the serial port communica-

tions speed in bits per second (BPS). Available options are 300, 1200, 2400,

9600, 19200, 34800, 57600 or 115200. The default value is 9600.

• Parity - This option allows you to specify the serial port communications

parity. Available options are EVEN, ODD or NONE. The default value

is NONE.

• Flow Control - This option allows you to specify the type of serial ﬂ ow

control. Available options are NONE, XOn/XOff (software) and RTS/CTS

(hardware). The default value is NONE. If you select a baud rate of 115200,

the only available ﬂ ow control is RTS/CTS (hardware).
