Supervisory Port Software
Configuration
4.1 Introduction
The Optimux-XLT1 parameters can be configured from a supervisory terminal
connected to the unit's CONTROL/MNG connector. Remote management is also
possible using the Telnet communication protocol through the unit’s MNG-ETH
connector.
All the example screens shown in this chapter are for different hardware/software
situations that are available.
4.2 Accessing and Exiting the Supervisory Terminal
To access the supervisory terminal for configuration:
1. Connect an ASCII ANSI terminal, or a PC capable of emulating an ASCII ANSI
terminal, to the 25-pin CONTROL/MNG connector on the rear panel of the
Optimux-XLT1 (for the cable wiring diagram, refer to the Control Cable Wiring
figure).
2. Set the terminal communication parameters to: 19,200 baud, 8 bits/character,
one stop bit and no parity bit.
Optimux-XLT1 automatically detects and adapts itself to terminal baud rates of
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 bps only.
3. Turn the unit on and immediately press <Enter> four or more times. If the
correct baud rate was detected, dots will start to appear correctly on the
terminal screen.
4. Press the dot <.> key once to set the parity and to complete the detection.
This baud setting will be saved in non-volatile RAM.
If the auto-detection fails, the baud rate of the Optimux-XLT1 management
port is the last baud rate that was written in the non-volatile RAM.
5. If a PC is used, run a terminal emulation program.
6. Reset the Optimux-XLT1 or turn it ON.
The Optimux-XLT1 Main Menu appears.
