6 The Monitor
6.1 Introduction
For configuration and diagnostics the modems have a serial interface to connect
a terminal or a PC with terminal emulation. The serial interface is available on the
backplane of the tabletops, on the ACU, the minirack mechanics and the plug-in
tabletop housing.
A modem configured as DSL slave is also accessible from the master side
through the DSL EOC.
The Monitor terminal or terminal emulation must be VT100 compatible and must
be configured as follows:
 9600 baud, asynchronous
 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit
 No new line on carriage return (i.e. no line feed on carriage return)
 XON/XOFF enabled
Notes:
 Between plug-in and the terminal the XON/XOFF protocol is used for flow
control. In order to re-enable communication with an plug-in occasionally left
in XOFF state, it is recommended to start each session with Ctrl-Q (=XON)
followed by an ECHO command.
 If you use the HyperTerm terminal emulator delivered with Windows® then
you must configure HyperTerm for VT100 emulation in the "Settings" tab of
the connection properties (File – Properties).
