6.4.1 Configuring the Serial Port Parameters
In order to communicate with the Trailblazer
units using the Command Line Interface, the
serial port parameters need to be configured.
The serial port parameters are illustrated in
the following figure.
These settings were configured within the
program by Hilgraeve (see left and below).
This program is readily available and runs on
any Windows platform, but any terminal
emulation program can be used that can
communicate across the asynchronous serial
COM ports of a PC.
The ASCII setup screen in
HyperTerminal™ needs to be configured
as well in order to properly communicate
with the Trailblazer units. In addition to the
basic ASCII setup (shown right) which you
will use most to configure the system, you
must insert a 50ms line delay in order to
be able to send scripts to the Trailblazer
units. Scripts are what you will need to
use in order to configure the amount of
and allocation of bandwidth within the
Trailblazer system. See Section 3.4
Allocating Bandwidth to Voice and/or Data
for complete details.
