The software interface is embedded inside the unit and requires an ANSI
compatible VT100 terminal (ASCII), or a computer running an ANSI terminal
emulation program (PROCOMM PLUS

). This interface is accessed through the

LAN, SUPV, or SLIP ports using a Telnet session.

Interface Access

Once a compatible VT100 terminal is properly connected to the unit, a terminal
interface session can be started by sending a

brea

k command to the unit or by

pressing the Enter key four times. If a password has been previously established,
enter the correct password to continue the session. The password is case-sensitive.
If the password is lost, note the date and time shown on the screen and contact
Verilink Technical Support. The procedure to establish or modify a password is
provided at Utilities screen on page 51. Once a valid password has been entered,
the Main Menu screen is displayed.

The terminal interface logs off automatically if a keystroke is not made within 10
minutes.
