7.1 QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
The following sections will provide step by step guidance for the use of the VT100 control
features of the HSBBM. For those experienced in VT100 control, this section provides a brief
guide to the use of this feature. Please refer to the relevant detailed section if you are not
clear on any point.
7.1.1 Before you start
To manage the High-speed Baseband Modem from a PC, you will need:
• A standard straight connected 9-pin D-type to 9-pin D-type cable.
• A terminal emulator set to VT100 at 9600 bauds, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no
flow control.
7.1.2 Procedure
STEP 1
Plug one end of the cable into the terminal port of the modem and the other end into a com
port in the PC. Run the terminal emulator and set up the communications parameters as
outlined above. Once the emulation screen is displayed, press CTRL-V to display the initial
“Screens Menu”.
STEP 2
Press “a” to enter the “Password Menu” so that you can log on. The cursor will be positioned
below the message “NOT logged in”. Press the SPACE key once to enter insert mode (a block
is displayed). Now type the first letter of the access level that you require (e.g. for User, type
“u”) followed by a SPACE and then the associated password using the correct case, and then
press RETURN. When you have logged in successfully, the message at the bottom of the
screen will change to “Logged in as xxxxxx” where xxxxxx is the log in level.
Default (factory set) passwords are:
Guest – Helen
User – Jennifer
Techie – Michael
Supervisor – Helmut
Note: If the “Use Password” check-box is not checked, it is possible to log in to “User” level
without a password. In this case simply press the space bar to display the input block and
press the RETURN key.
