CONFIGURING WITH AN

ASCII TERMINAL

You can use an ASCII terminal (or PC with terminal emulation software) to

configure Campus-RS system options and generate system reports. The

ASCII terminal connects to the console port on the Campus-RS Desktop Unit

or on the Campus-RS Line Unit installed in the Campus-Star chassis.

This chapter describes how to use an ASCII terminal to set the individual

configuration options. To use an ASCII terminal to view system performance

and other status information, see Chapter 6, “View Information and Status.”

You can also set and view configuration option through the LCD and menu

buttons on the front of the Campus-RS Desktop Unit or on the Campus

Management Unit (CMU) on the Campus-Star chassis. To do this, see

“Configuring and Monitoring Through the LCD” on page 4-1.
