Appendix A

Terminal Configurator

This appendix describes how to use the Terminal Configurator to configure the Ethernet Adapter.

The Terminal Configurator is an alternate method used to configure your Ethernet Adapter. The Terminal Configurator is a text-based configuration method. You can access the Terminal Configurator by one of the following methods:

∙Through direct serial connection. When using a direct serial connection, the Ethernet Adapter communicates with a serial terminal or a computer that is running terminal emulation software. Some common examples of terminal emulation software include HyperTerminal, ProComm, and Telix. Configuration using a direct serial connection can be performed at any time, regardless of the current settings of the Ethernet Adapter.

∙Over a telnet connection. When using a telnet connection, the unit communicates via TCP/IP with a computer running a telnet program. A telnet connection can be used to configure Ethernet Adapter units outside of your local area network, when the Ethernet Manager cannot be used, because the TCP/IP communication is routeable.
