Management - VT-100
You can manage the system through VT100 Terminal Emulation, which is accessible by a Telnet
session, HyperTerminal or similar terminal emulation software, a standard SNMP network manager,
and CanogaView.
4.1 VT100 Terminal Emulation
Setting up the VT100 session depends on which connection, serial port or Ethernet, you have
available for access to the VT100 management program. Canoga Perkins suggests that you use
HyperTerminal for your first session. You must set up TCP/IP before you can use Telnet.
4.2 PC Configuration for Terminal Operation
These steps briefly describe how to set up your PC for a terminal connection. For details on using
Windows, see your Windows documentation.
1. Turn on your PC.
2. When the Windows desktop appears, click Start, then highlight Programs, Accessories, the
HyperTerminal Folder, and then click HyperTerminal.
3. At the Connection Description dialog, select an icon, enter a name for the connection to the
system, and click OK.
4. At the Connect To dialog, pull down the Connect using menu, select the COM port, and

• Bits per second: 19200 bps
