5.1.4 Serial Port Operation

As is shown in Figures 5-7 and 5-8, a number of serial port diagnostic and maintenance

commands are available for the user in the ‘Serial Port Menu’. The menu options available will be

identical for Hyperterminal as well as for any other communication software utility tool, such as

Procomm Plus. The differences occur in the way that several of the commands proceed past the

point of selecting the menu item. For the benefit of new users however, the whole sequence will

be presented here for Hyperterminal, and then set out again separately later, for Procomm Plus.

5.1.4.1.1 ‘?’: Show Serial Port Service Utility Key Assignments Menu

This command will display a list of functions as shown in Figure 5-7. If using the SCSI-

FC Router in a distance solution, please note that functions that appear on the screen in

Figure 5-7 are utilized with the host router (SCSI-FC Router H). This is also the screen

that will appear if the router is being used as a connectivity device. Figure 5-8 shows the

menu that appears for use by the device router (SCSI-FC Fabric Router).
