Using an RS232 Connection and Terminal Program to Aim the SDT-
5000
Complete the following steps to connect terminals and logon to the SDT-5000 modem.
NOTE:
The sample screens for this task were obtained from ZOC.
1. Connect a PC based terminal communication program (i.e., hyper terminal, ZOC, or
PROCOMM) to the test port of the cable assembly of the SDT-5000 modem. The terminal
should be configured as follows:
9600 baud
no parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
full duplex
flow control none
2. Connect the unit to the battery using the supplied power cable. The unit should turn on and
the PC terminal should display the following message:
Power up – self test in progress…
The SDT-5000 modem will require about 15 seconds to boot and run self-tests. During this
self-test time the SDT-5000 modem will print a number of diagnostic messages to the test
port. Should the diagnostic messages not appear, check the terminal setup, serial cables
and power cable connections.
3. Press the Enter key twice, and the following Logon (see figure 4) window should appear.
