4.6 Supervision Terminal Operating Instructions

Before using the supervision terminal make sure the preparations listed in
Section 4-3 have been completed and all the relevant equipment have been
turned on.

Starting a Session
- Single HCD-E1

When the terminal is used to control a single HCD-E1, always assign node
number 0 to the HCD-E1. Use the following startup sequence to connect to
a HCD-E1 that has been assigned node number 0. We assume that you are
using the AUTO (Autobaud) mode, which is the default one when you
switch on the equipment.
