Starting the VT100 Interface

After you make the required connections and set up the communications

program, follow these steps to start the VT100 interface.

NOTE

: The VT100 interface allows only one active user at a time. For example, if an

active VT100 session is using Telnet over Ethernet, another session cannot occur

over the serial or Ethernet connections.

1. Start the communications program. If you use a Telnet application, enter a

valid IP address and start the connection.

2. Enter the following command:

vt100

NOTE:

If the login fails, you may need to retry the connection several times.

The Login screen appears.

Figure B- 1.

3. Within 20 seconds after the Login screen appears, enter the password. The

default password is public. The Main menu screen appears.
