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.
