CHAPTER 6: SETTING UP THE D400
Task 1: Connect to the D400
To perform the initial set up of the D400, you need to connect your computer directly to the
D400 through the front serial communications port. The front communications port
provides a local connection and terminal session with the D400 and is used to perform
system administrative and maintenance procedures.
Terminal session
The terminal session is enabled through a terminal emulation application; for example, one
of the following:
•
Tera Term
•
HyperTerminal (provided with Windows
®
XP)
•
HyperACCESS (provided with Windows
®
7 Commercial Edition and later)
•
PuTTY
A terminal emulator application is required to set up a terminal session with the D400. This
procedure is described using Tera Term, but any terminal emulation program can be used.
Procedure
To connect to the D400:
1.
Connect the supplied null modem cable (GE Item No. 977-0529) to your computer’s
serial communications port and to the D400's front communications port. See “Front
