8.7 Communication with Terminal Program

Data Terminal

If a VIP XD cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to the VIP XD for initial setup and setting of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.

You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VIP XD (see Section Pin Assignment, page 66).

HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used as the terminal program.

NOTICE!

i Information on installing and using HyperTerminal can be found in the manuals or in the online help for MS Windows.

1.Disconnect the VIP XD from the Ethernet network before working with the terminal program.

2.Connect the serial interface of the VIP XD using any available serial interface on the computer.

Configuring the Terminal

Before the terminal program can communicate with the VIP XD, the transmission parameters must be matched. Make the following settings for the terminal program:

–19,200 bps

–8 data bits

–No parity check

–1 stop bit

–No protocol

Command Inputs

After the connection has been established, you must log on to the VIP XD to access the main menu. Other submenus and functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.

2.Enter one command at a time.

3.When you have entered a value (such as an IP address), check the characters you have entered before pressing Enter to transfer the values to the VIP XD.
