Configuring the Console Path and Display Format

If you are using a terminal display connected to your Model 743 via an RS- 232C port, the Console Path is set correctly by default: You do not need to set it. You can connect to either one of the serial ports, but Port A, by default, is the only serial port that delivers system diagnostics.

Setting the Display Format

NOTE:The RS-232C setting should always be 9600 Baud. Changing this setting may cause the terminal to display incorrectly.

If you disconnect or change your graphics display output hardware, it is pos- sible that the console path and display format may not be configured prop- erly. In this case you will need to be familiar with the following console search procedure to determine the configuration information for the current console.

Follow these steps to set the console path and display format:

1Make sure the VMEbus host system power is off and the console (graph- ics monitor) is connected and turned on.

2Hold the Rst/Abt front panel switch in the Abt (abort) position. This po- sition is to the right.

3Power-on the VMEbus host system and wait a few seconds.

4Release the Abort switch.

The system displays a message on your screen. The message repeats about every seven seconds using different font sizes and resolution.

Depending on whether you are running graphics or a console terminal (RS-232C), one of the following message-types will appear:
