1. Connect a straight-through serial cable to the local Craft port. Connect the other
end of the cable to a computer.
2. Start a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm Plus.
Configure the program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit.
3. Type

(semicolon). If the TimeProvider responds with a Deny response, you
have established communications. If you do not receive the Deny response,
check the connections, the cable, and the program settings.
Testing the Remote Serial Port
The Remote port is for remote dial-in connection to the unit, and is configured as a
DTE device. The default settings for the Remote serial port are 9600 Baud, 8 bits,
no parity, 1 stop bit, echo on, and handshaking disabled.
To connect a device to the Remote port, perform the following steps:
1. Connect a null-modem serial cable to the Remote port. Connect the other end of
the cable to a computer.
2. Start a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm Plus.
Configure the program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit.
3. Type
;
(semicolon). If the TimeProvider responds with a Deny response, you
have established communications. If you do not receive the Deny response,
check the connections, the cable, and the program settings.
Testing the Ethernet Port
You use a direct connection when a service technician is on-site. You must
configure the Ethernet settings using a serial connection before using the Ethernet
connection; the procedure is described in
To connect the TimeProvider to a PC or terminal using Ethernet, perform the
following steps:
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the LAN connector on the shelf.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the PC or terminal.
3. Start a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal or ProComm Plus.
Configure the program for a telnet session and enter the IP address with port
5000 of the TimeProvider.
4. Type
;
(semicolon). If the TimeProvider responds with a Deny response, you
have established communications. If you do not receive the Deny response,
check the connections, the cable, and the program settings.
