Starting Procedure

1. Starting the Configuration

To configure the ASMi-450, you need an ASCII terminal, e.g., a VT-100, etc., or a PC running a terminal emulation program. You also need a standard cable terminated in a 9-pin D-type male connector, for connecting the serial port of your terminal to the CONTROL DCE connector located on the front panel of the ASMi-450.

Configure your terminal for eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, echo off, and no flow control. You can use 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 bps - the ASMi-450 will automatically recognize the data rate you are using.

1.Turn the ASMi-450 on.

2.Connect the terminal cable to the CONTROL DCE connector of the ASMi-450.

3.Press the Carriage Return (<CR> or ENTER) key three times in sequence: you should see the ASMi-450 prompt, ASMI>.

If you see PASSWORD>, type ASMI and then press <CR> to obtain the prompt.

If you do not see the prompt:

∙Check the terminal configuration, and its connections to the ASMi-450, and then repeat step 3 above.

∙Turn the ASMi-450 off about 15 seconds, and then turn it on again and repeat step 3 above.

∙If this is the first time you are working on this ASMi-450 unit, refer to Section 4-3 for preliminary configuration instructions.

∙Read ASMi-450 display. If the second row shows EMPTY, everything is OK. If it shows SCROLL, press SCROLL and read the alarm messages. Refer to Chapter 5 for instructions.
