Using the VT-100 port

Any PC with an operating system that supports the VT-100 Craft Port can be used as a console. The following

instructions utilize the VT-100 Craft Port on a PC running Windows 98/2000/NT.

1. Use the supplied RS-232 cable and connect the console port to the COM port of the console PC.

2. Use a telnet program such as Windows Hyper Terminal to perform the console management operations.

Note: Other telnet client software such as NetTerm© may also be used, and may offer additional features such as

function key support to help with setup.

3. VT-100 terminal settings:

Startup loading screen

When first connecting to iMux, the loading screen will be displayed. The loading screen permits the user to start

the iMux into a particular operating mode, or return to factory profiles.

Select a Startup Profile

There are four selectable profiles. The pre-configured factory settings has been created and saved in Profile I

and Profile II. The default booting process will select Profile I.

Profile Factory Default has all settings cleared, and an IP address of 0.0.0.0.

Profile factory default (IP Address: 192.168.0.1) is clear of all settings but retains the IP 192.168.0.1 address

so that the user may simply connect and manage the iMux through the web interface (MGMT port) on the front

panel.
