4.4 Terminal Mode Control
The Terminal Mode Control allows the use of an external terminal or computer to monitor and
control the modem from a full screen interactive presentation operated by the modem itself. No
external software is required other than Terminal Emulation Software (e.g. “Procomm” for a
computer when used as a terminal. The Control Port is normally used as an RS–232 Connection
to the terminal device. The RS-232 operating parameters can be set using the modem Front
Panel and stored in Non-Volatile Memory for future use (refer to Section Remote Protocol Manual
for setup and terminal screens).
Refer to Remote Protocol Manual TM-117 for terminal screens.
4.4.1 Modem Terminal Mode Control
The modem can be interactively monitored and controlled in the Terminal Mode, with a full screen
presentation of current settings and status.
The Terminal Control Mode supports several baud rates, however the connection must be set for
8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity (8,N,1).
4.4.2 Modem Setup for Terminal Mode
Terminal Mode Communications and Protocol is set from the Front Panel Control by setting the
“Control Mode” Parameter to “Terminal”, and then setting the “Modem Port”, “Term Baud” and
“Emulation” Parameters as desired. Then a terminal is connected to Connector J20 on the Back
Panel. All operating software for the Terminal Mode is contained within the Modem Internal
Control Software.
A “break” signal on the communications line, pressing “ESC” on the terminal or Power On of the
modem will initiate full screen terminal mode printing and redraw the full screen. The Terminal
Mode displays the present status of all user parameters controlled and read by the processor,
and offers a menu allowing change to any controlled parameter.
The Terminal Mode uses eight “Screens,” each of which have the basic contents of the three
modem monitor and control areas as set in the Front Panel matrix columns. This screen is used
for setting the parameters of the Modulator, Demodulator, Event, Alarm, Latched Alarm, Drop
Controls, Insert Controls, and Interface Areas.
4.5 Terminal Port User Interface
The Remote Port (J20) of the modem allows for complete control and monitoring of all
parameters and functions via an RS-232 Serial Interface. ‘Terminal Mode’ can be entered from
the front panel by selecting “System” and then “Control Mode” followed by “Terminal”. The baud
rate and evaluation type can be changed at the front panel by using the
System>Baud Rate
Menu.
