Chapter 4 Configuration Installation and Operation Manual
4-2 Configuring for Management FCD-E1LC Ver. 1.0
Before starting an initial configuration session, you must set the supervision
terminal parameters to match the configuration of the CONTROL DCE port.
³ To configure the supervision terminal:
1. Select full-duplex mode.
2. Turn the terminal echo off.
3. Disable any type of flow control.
4. Connect the terminal cable to the CONTROL DCE connector of FCD-E1LC.
5. Turn the supervisory terminal on.
6. For the initial configuration session, it is recommended to use the following
communication parameters: 19200 bps (alternatively, since Autobaud is used
as a default, you can also use any standard rate you prefer in the range of
1200 to 115200 bps), one start bit, eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit.
7. Turn terminal echo off, and disable any type of flow control.
8. Whenever feasible, configure the terminal to use VT-100 emulation.
You are now ready to start a supervision terminal configuration session.
Starting a Control Session
If the AUTO (Autobaud) mode is enabled, start the control session by pressing
<Enter> three times.
After the FCD-E1LC has successfully identified the data rate of the supervision
terminal, it displays the results of its power-up self-test:
FCD Self Test in Progress ... OK
or
FCD Self Test in Progress ... Failed
In the latter case, you must service the FCD-E1LC before you can continue using
it. If FCD-E1LC successfully passed the power-up self-test, it sends the following
message:
FCD Supervisory Port On Line. Type ‘H’ For Help
• When the node number of FCD-E1LC is a number other than zero, you must
enter the node number before entering each command. Enter
NODE<SP>‘node number’<SP>, where ‘node number’ is the node number in
the range from 1 to 255, and <SP> is a space. FCD-E1LC echoes the node
number, i.e. Node<SP>‘node number’<SP>.
• When password protection is enabled, FCD-E1LC displays the PASSWORD>
prompt at the beginning of the session. In this case, type the current
password (case-sensitive, four to eight characters). The default password is
1234 . If your password is accepted, the FCD> prompt is displayed.
