FBTEST REFERENCE MANUAL 11 (102)
BRU3 MANUAL, Doc.no: 198 17-CAAA 808 288 Uen Rev H, 2003-06-06
3 Hardware, Equipment and Preparation
The preparation work necessary for testing a node is kept at a minimum. A
console terminal has to be attached to the Console Connector on the BRU3, and
if a test that requires external hardware is to be executed, special test cables are
to be connected.
3.1 Configuration
All terminal inputs and outputs are directed to the console. The console should
be a VT100 terminal or the equivalent.
The communication parameters should be as follows:
• Baud rate 9600.
• 8 data bits.
• no parity.
Most VT100-compatible terminals feature dumping the screen information to a
hardcopy device, which may be very useful when logging the results from the
tests. See the documentation of the actual terminal for more information.
