Using the ASCII TerminalInterface (ATI) 2

Accessing the ATI

You can communicate with the ATI using one of the following methods:
Direct connection through the Terminal port.
Dialing in through an external modem to the Terminal port.
Telnet session through the Ethernet port.
Telnet session through the Facility Data Link (FDL).
NOTE:
Only one ATI session can be active at a time, and another user’s session
cannot be forced to end. To automatically log out a user due to inactivity,
enable the Inactivity Timeout option (see Table A-6, Terminal Port Options
and Table A-7, Telnet Session Options).
The user interface is blank until activated. Press Enter to activate the user
interface. Security can limit ATI access several ways. To setup security or a login
ID, refer to Chapter 4,
Security
.

Connecting to the Terminal Port

Ensure that the device you connect communicates using the following settings:
Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.
Character length set to 8.
Parity set to None.
Stop Bits set to 1.
To change Terminal port settings, refer to Table A-6, Terminal Port Options.
