Appendix H. Console Interface
The administrator can enter the console interface via this port to handle problems occurring during operation.
Certain system status such as boot-up time, firmware version and interface status can be found in this console
interface.
1. To connect the console port of MSG100, you need a
console cable and a terminal simulation program, such
as the Hyper Terminal.
2. If you use Hyper Terminal, please set the parameters
as follows:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
The main console is a menu-driven text interface with dialog boxes. Please use arrow keys on the
keyboard to browse the menu and press the Enter key to make selection or confirm inputs.
3. Once the console port of MSG100 is connected properly, the console main screen will appear automatically. If
the screen does not appear in the terminal simulation program automatically, try to press the arrow keys, so
that the terminal simulation program will send some messages to the system and the welcome screen or the
main menu should appear. If you are still unable to see the welcome screen or the main menu of the console,
please check the connection of the console cables and the settings of the terminal simulation program.
