APPENDIX E: CONNECTING SERIAL DEVICES TO PARAGON II SYSTEM 123
Configuring AUATC
Press Alt + F2 to activate the Setup Screen, where you can select your desired serial-
communication parameters (baud rate, etc.) and type of local video output. The initial parameters
will always start at their factory defaults, so make sure that the serial port or device to which
AUATC is attached is temporarily configured for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
(If the port or device cannot support all of these settings, you must temporarily attach one that
can.) Also, if you want to perform initial configuration with a “local user station,” it must consist
of a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor.
Available data-rate (“Baud Rate”) settings are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps. You can select
even, odd, or no (“None”) parity; 7 or 8 data bits; and 1 or 2 stop bits (but 7 data bits requires 2
stop bits). The terminal type is fixed at VT100.
To force local VGA output even when your local keyboard is a Sun type, access AUATC from a
User Station with a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Activate the Setup Screen and change the
video option from Sun keyboard to VGA. You can then access AUATC from Sun type user
stations.
