Operation
OVERVIEW
To fully operate the ATLAS 810
PLUS
, you must connect to the terminal menu
using VT-100 terminal emulation or a Telnet session. For limited configura-
tion control, use T-Watch PRO. The following sections provide an overview
of these methods of operating the ATLAS 810
PLUS
.
USING THE TERMINAL MENU
The terminal menu provides the primary means of monitoring and config-
uring the ATLAS 810
PLUS
. The terminal menu interface uses the full capabil-
ities of the VT-100 terminal to provide the quickest and most intuitive
operation possible. (Access the terminal menu using a VT-100 terminal or a
computer running VT-100 terminal-emulation software.) To receive the full
benefit of the terminal menu interface, you should use a fully VT-100 com-
patible client. The ADTRAN Utilities floppy disks (that you can install on a
PC) contain both a VT-100 client and a customized Telnet program. See
ADTRAN Utilities on page 12-1 for details on the available programs.
The three basic connection methods supported by the ATLAS 810
PLUS
are a
a direct connection through the EIA-232 Chain In port (located on the rear
panel), a direct connection through the EIA-232 CRAFT port (located on the
front panel), and a Telnet session. The following sections describe using
VT-100 terminal emulation (for either of the two EIA-232 ports) and estab-
lishing a Telnet session.
Using VT-100 Terminal Emulation
You can access the ATLAS 810
PLUS
terminal menu, using VT-100 terminal
emulation, from either the Chain In port on the rear panel or the CRAFT port
on the front panel. Both of these ports provide an EIA-232 serial connection.
The following Step/Action table provides instructions for setting up the
ATLAS 810
PLUS
for VT-100 terminal mode.
