Connecting a Terminal
Before connecting a device, ensure that the device has been installed according to the instructions described in
the Allied Telesis AT-S95Installation Guide.
Once installed the device is connected to a terminal through a console port (located on the front panel of 24 port
devices and the back panel for the 48 port devices). The console connection enables a connection to a terminal
desktop system running a terminal emulation software for monitoring and configuring the device. For a stack, only
the console port of the Stacking Master is connected.
The terminal must be a VT100 compatible terminal or a desktop or portable system with a serial port and running
VT100 terminal emulation software. The CLI can be accessed through the connected Terminal.
To connect a terminal to the device Console port, perform the following:
1. Connect a cable from the device console port to the terminal running VT100 terminal emulation software.
2. Ensure that the terminal emulation software is set as follows:
a) Select the appropriate port to connect to the device.
b) Set the data rate to 115, 200 baud.
c) Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
d) Set flow control to none.
e) Under Properties, select VT100 for Emulation mode.
f) Select Terminal keys for Function, Arrow, and Ctrl keys. Ensure that the setting is for Terminal keys (not
Windows keys).
Note
When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, ensure that you have Windows 2000 Service
Pack 2 or later installed. With Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, the arrow keys function properly in
HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation. Go to www.microsoft.com for information on Windows 2000 service
packs.
The device is now ready to download the system software.
