3.2 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

The Model 2720 features a menu-driven command system that allows you to monitor/configure its operating parameters. Follow the instructions below to configure the Model 2720 using the software selections:

1)Plug the 9-pin male end of the cable to your terminal or com- puter’s DB-9 serial port and start up the terminal emulator software if necessary. Plug the miniature stereo plug into the rear of the unit. The small recessed jack on the left side of the unit is the control port jack.

NOTE: If your terminal uses a DB-25 connector, please use a DB-9 to DB-25 Adapter to connect to the cable.

2)Power up the terminal and set its RS-232 port as follows:

9600 Baud

8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity Local echo off

ANSI or VT-100 emulation

3)Here is an example of a terminal emulator setup session. In normal font are the various parameter types. In bold type are the values that should be used for best results. Your terminal program’s setup screen may differ from this one:

Baud rate: 9600

Parity: None

Data Length: 8

Stop Bits: 1

Default terminal type:

VT100

 

Local Echo:

 

Off

 

Add Line Feeds after CRs:

Off

 

Received Backspace Destructive:

On

 

Backspace key sends:

BS

 

XON/XOFF software flow control:

On

 

CTS/RTS hardware flow control:

Off

 

DSR/DTR hardware flow control:

Off

 

4)When the unit is first turned on, the terminal screen may appear blank. Press the [Enter] key. If your serial connection is good, the unit will immediately display a password prompt. The following message will appear in the middle of the screen:

Patton Electronics

Menu Management

Enter Password: _

5)Type in the password and press [Enter]. The factory default password for the unit is (password is case sensitive):

patton

NOTE: If the entry is incorrect, the password screen will clear and prompt you again for the correct password. The password you enter will not be shown. For security, asterisks will be dis- played for each letter you type. The maximum length of the password, which can include any character the terminal can generate, is 16 characters.

6)The Model 2720 will then display the Main Menu screen.
