To connect the terminal, follow these steps:
1. Connect the terminal (or a computer in terminal emulation mode) to the
Terminal port with the EIA/TIA-232 cable as described in Chapter 2.
2. Turn on the terminal; adjust the contrast and brightness as required.
The AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount terminal interface software contains an
autobaud feature that automatically attempts to detect the operating baud
rate of the attached terminal device.
3. Press <Break> then <Return> on the terminal keyboard.
Pressing <Break> at the terminal puts the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount
terminal interface software in “hunt” mode, where it looks for carriage
return (<Return>) characters at the attached terminal.
If the terminal is set for 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, or 1200 bps, the terminal
interface software learns the operating baud rate by starting at 19200 bps
and dropping to the next lower speed in the sequence until it recognizes a
<Return> character.
When the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount terminal interface detects a
<Return> keystroke, it displays the AirLink Pro command-line prompt:
AIRLINK PRO T1> or AIRLINK PRO E1>
Pressing <Break> puts the terminal interface software back into hunt mode.
If the prompt does not appear, press <Break>once, then press <Return>
repeatedly at one second intervals until the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount
prompt appears. If the prompt does not appear after pressing <Return> six
times, press <Break> and try again.
Command-Line Interface
The command-line interface consists of commands for manipulating the
operation of the AirLink Pro T1/E1 Rack Mount, including configuring
operational parameters, monitoring operation, and responding to alarm
conditions.
