3.4 Configuration and Management Alternatives
You can locally configure and monitor RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 from an ASCII
terminal connected to the relevant unit’s control port, or remotely using
ConfiguRAD or RADview-Lite. If you choose the remote option, the relevant PC
requires an SNMP agent and a Web browser.
Working with an ASCII Terminal
RICi-4E1/T1, RICi-8E1/T1 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DTE port
designated CONTROL, which is terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector.
The control port continuously monitors the incoming data stream and
immediately responds to any input string received through this port.
The control port can be configured to communicate at the following rates: 9.6,
19.2, or 115.2 kbps.
³ To start a terminal control session:
1. Make sure that all cables are properly connected to the relevant connectors.
2. Connect that the unit is connected to a PC equipped with an ASCII terminal
emulation application, for example Hyper Terminal or Procomm.
3. Turn on the control terminal PC and set its default port parameters to
115,200 bits per second, 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit and No Parity.
4. Set the terminal emulator to ANSI VT100 to optimize the view of the system
menus.
5. Set the terminal emulator to view a 132-character screen width.
6. Once the system initialized and completed the self-tests, a menu appears
displaying the results of the initialization and the self-tests.
