Figure 3-17 Connecting the Control Terminal
Step 3
Tighten the EIA/TIA-232 connector screws to firmly attach the cable to the Control Terminal connector.
Step 4 Plug the control terminal power cord into the appropriate wall receptacle.
Step 5 Set the port function for VT100 (#5) using the cnftermfunc command.
Step 6 Make sure that the Auxiliary port and the terminal are set to the same baud rate and check the other
communication parameters using the cnfterm command.
Note When you power up a node, it enters boot mode. Its control terminal communicates at a default
rate of 9600 bps. If the rate for the node’s control port previously was 19,200 bps, the first
messages appears garbled because the control port (in boot mode) is temporarily running at
9,600 bps. When the transition to online occurs, the speeds match, so the display becomes
readable.
