Using the serial port
To connect to a terminal emulation program to
manage the FastStream, use the serial port.
1
Connect a cable from FastStream RS-232
serial port or header to the serial (COM) port on
a personal computer.
2 Start a terminal emulation program on the
personal computer, and use it to connect to the
FastStream. For example, if you are using
Hyper Terminal on a computer running a
Windows operating system:
a. Type FastStream in the New Connection
dialog box.
b. Click OK.
c. In the Connect To dialog box in the
Connect using field, select the COM port
number to which your serial cable is
connected.
d. Click OK.
e. In the COM Properties dialog box select the
following values:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity:
None
• Stop Bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
• Terminal type: ASCII
• Echo:
off
f. Click OK.
3 Turn on the FastStream.
4 After you connect to the FastStream, start-up
messages are displayed. The last line in the
start-up message sequence is
Ready.
Make adjustments to the FastStream using the
Command Line Interface as described in CLI
Provides an ASCII-based Interface on page i of
the Appendix.
Note
In serial port sessions, there is no prompt on
the line below the word Ready. Begin typing
commands in the blank line where the cursor
is resting. No user name or password is
required for serial port access.
5 To verify that you have connected successfully,
type
help after the Ready prompt and press
Enter.
If a list of all available commands does not
appear on the screen, review the steps in this
section, check the cable, or contact service
personnel until the problem is solved.
If you have difficulty using the serial port, verify
that you have the correct settings and that your
serial cable is less then two meters in length.
Using Telnet
Up to three Telnet sessions using the FastStream
Ethernet management port can be conducted
simultaneously. A serial port session can use the CLI
while Telnet sessions are open. Whichever session
issues the first
set CLI command that requires a
SaveConfiguration can continue to issue set
commands, while the other sessions can only issue
get commands or display information.
Once a connection is established, refer to
CLI
Provides an ASCII-based Interface on page i of the
Appendix.
1
Connect to the FastStream from a computer on
the same Ethernet network.
2 Start a Telnet session.
Note
There is more than one way to connect to the
FastStream using a telnet program.Your telnet
program may operate differently than in the
following instructions.
3 At the telnet prompt, issue the open command
where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the
FastStream.
telnet > open x.x.x.x
4 If you have to specify a port type, type in the
port type “telnet” and the terminal type “SC100”.
port type: telnet
terminal type: SC100
