Terminal Interface 4-15

Unit Number Move the Highlight bar to Unit Number, and enter a number between 0

and 9999. Note: Each unit must be set to a different number to allow

remote communication, and daisy chaining of multiple units. For example, if

the remote unit is set to the same number as the local unit, you will not be

able to access the remote unit.

Unit Name Move the highlight bar to Unit Name, and press Enter.

Soft Serial Number This feature allows the user to view the local serial number.

If the remote unit is not software compatible with the soft serial number

feature, the Unit Conﬁguration screen still displays the serial number ﬁeld

but the information is incorrect. All the other information on the screen (for

example, node number, hardware revision number) is still accurate.

The soft serial number is preserved if the user enters a “Reset Entire Node

Database to Factory Defaults” command.

Terminal Baud Rate This feature selects the terminal baud rate. To set or change the baud rate,

move the highlight bar to Terminal Baud Rate, and press the Space Bar

to toggle between the options: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,

19,200, and 38,400. (Default - 9600)

Terminal Parity & Bits This feature selects the terminal parity. To set or change the local terminal

parity, move the highlight bar to Terminal Parity & Bits, and press the

Space Bar to toggle between the options None, Odd, and Even. (Default -

None)

Terminal Stop Bits This feature selects the terminal stop bit requirement. To set or change the

requirement, move the highlight bar to Terminal Stop Bits, and press

the Space Bar to toggle between the options 1, 1.5, or 2. (Default - 2)

Terminal XOn/XOff This allows the user to enable or disable the XOn/XOff Flow Control

feature. With the Flow Control feature On, the terminal can request that the

DTE quit sending data when its buffers are full. To set or change this feature,

move the highlight bar to Terminal XOn/XOff, and use the Space Bar to

select choice. (Default - On)

Terminal Multidrop Mode If the terminal is connected to more than one DL3800, it must be in

Multidrop Mode. If it is connected to only one unit, this feature can be

disabled. When it is disabled, the system starts up directly, without the user

having to log in. To change this conﬁguration, move the highlight bar to

Terminal Multidrop Mode, and use the Space Bar to toggle between the

options Enabled, and Disabled. (Default - Enabled)
