7.1.2 Setting Up Direct Communications Software
Step 1 Verify that the fiber optic cable going to the BS is securely connected to the proper port on the backhaul
network.
Step 2 Connect an Ethernet cable between the backhaul network and the Ethernet connector on the PC that will
be used as the test EMS.
Note A VT 100 terminal or any standard Windows-based ASCII terminal emulation program can be
used for connecting to the BS. The connection for HyperTerm is explained here as an illustrative
example. The steps to get to the HyperTerm program may be different due to variances between
Operating Systems and in the PC setup. There have been cases of extra “garbage” data while
using the HyperTerm program. The preferred TeraTerm program can be downloaded free from
the Internet.
Step 3 Power on the test EMS Server.
Step 4 On the PC, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications > HyperTerminal.
Step 5 In the COM1 Properties window (Figure 7-1), under the Port settings tab enter the configuration options.
Click “OK”.
