1. NAVIGATING THE TERMINAL MENU
The TRACER 4205 menu system can be accessed with a VT100 compatible terminal set to 9600 bits per
second, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity, connected to the RS-232 port located on the back of the unit.
Flow control on the serial interface should be configured to None for proper operation. Once a terminal is
connected, pressing <Ctrl + L> will refresh the current screen. If password access has been enabled, the
ENTER PASSWORD message will be displayed at the bottom of the TRACER 4205 system status menu.
Terminal Menu Window
The TRACER 4205 uses five menu pages and a single main menu page to access its many features. The
main menu page (see Figure 1) provides a link to all available configuration/status pages.
Figure 1. Main Menu Screen
All TRACER 4205 systems are shipped factory default with password protection disabled.
After connecting a VT100 terminal to the TRACER 4205, press <Ctrl + L> to redraw the
current screen. VT100 access will not be possible until this step is performed.
