Set-up Management Connections

As explained earlier, VTrak 15110 has two types of Management connections:

Network – Supports the CLU and WebPAM PRO

RS-232 Serial – Supports the CLU

The physical (cable) connections for these are described in an earlier section. If
you have not made these connections, do so before continuing.

Use the following procedures to enable Management connections for VTrak.
Terminal Emulation is required in all cases. The others are required depending on
the Management connections you choose.

Terminal Emulation

Terminal emulation is the means of communication over an RS-232 serial
connection. In the following procedure, you will establish a Terminal Emulation
link between the Host PC and the VTrak.

Regardless of your choice of management connection, you must first establish a
Terminal Emulation connection.

If you are using a Macintosh PC and have no provision for a RS-232 connection,
see the instructions under Mac OS X on page 29.
