2–2 Getting Started
Configuring Your System
After the terminal and the motherboard are connected and the motherboard is
powered on, the terminal screen should display the banner and prompt. For example:
DECchip 21064 Evaluation Board (EB64) Debug Monitor
Version: Tue May 04 16:55:54 EDT 1993
Bootadr: 0x100000, memSize: 0x2000000 (32MB)
EB64>
Note: Using a terminal in this manner is the most effective way to quickly
verify that your motherboard was not damaged during shipping. You can
use the ROM socket to load and boot software through a compatible
ROM. However, to download a file, you need a system running terminal
emulation software that has the capability of performing text dumps
through the serial connection or through an Ethernet connection to a host
system that supports the BOOTP protocol.
2.3.2 Connecting to a PC
Communication (terminal emulation) software running on a PC can also be used to
communicate with the motherboard. To connect the motherboard to a PC, connect
the terminal communication line to serial port 1 of the motherboard as described for
the terminal.
2.3.3 Connecting from a System Running Windows NT
A system running the Windows NT operating system supports serial communication
with the motherboard. To configure a COM port, follow these steps:
1. Choose the Program Manager icon.
2. Choose the Accessories icon.
3. Choose the Terminal icon.
4. Set the following terminal characteristics:
Terminal Setting Value
Data bits 8 bit
Transmit/receive speed 9600 baud
Character format No parity
Stop bits 1
