1-2 DL3100 User’s Guide—November 1998

Getting Started

The DL3100 can be conÞgured through the front panel or through a VT-100

terminal connection. This chapter will discuss conÞguration through a

terminal. Please refer to Chapter 7, ÒUsing the Front Panel InterfaceÓ for

conÞguration from the front panel.

Start by logging on to the unit. To do this connect a VT-100 compatible

terminal connection to the DL3100 terminal port. Make sure the terminal

port settings match that of the DL3100. The default settings on the DL3100

are 9600, N, 8, and 2.

To log on to the unit, you must press Ctrl-X, press #, type the node

number, and press Enter. The factory default node number is 0. If the

node number is unknown, press Ctrl-X Þve times for a Òroll callÓ of node

numbers. There is no default user name or password on the DL3100.

Pressing Enter will allow you to skip through these prompts. For

conÞguration of user names and passwords, refer to ÒLogin ConÞgurationÓ

on page 4-14 in Chapter 4, ÒConÞguring the DL3100.Ó Once logged in, the

unit will display the Node/T3 Main Menu. From here the user can access

all conÞgurable options. The options discussed are the critical ones.

Setting a Parameter in a Menu

To set the value of a parameter and conÞrm or cancel your action:

1. Move to the value using the up and down arrows.

2. Press the Space Bar to cycle through the available options, stop at

the desired option, and press Return.

Or, when appropriate, type the required value.

3. You must select ConÞrm to conÞrm your action (or select Exit to

take no action).

NOTE: Pressing Esc will always take you to the top of the menu.
