Setting up connection methods used to configure
base stations
The Expedience system allows you to connect to a base station using many methods:
• Terminal emulation over a serial line
•Telnet
•Web server
•SNMP server
Before you can use a particular method to connect to the base station, you must configure its
connection.
To configure the base station initially, you will most likely use a serial connection and a
terminal emulation session. Terminal emulation allows access through a direct RS-232
connection from a personal computer to the base station.
Setting up terminal emulation access
The terminal emulation connection is a physical RS-232 cable connection, between the base
station and a PC. Once the connection is set up, you can use a program—such as
Hyperterminal under the Windows operating system—to configure and communicate with
the base station.
Terminal emulation connection settings
To set up a terminal emulation connection, use these settings:
• 19.2k baud
• 8 data bits
•No parity
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
Setting up Telnet access
To set up your system to use Telnet to access a base station:
1 Using your Term connection, at the NNOS command prompt, issue the following
command to enable Telnet:
set telnet state enabled
2 If you want to change the default port on which the Telnet server listens:
set telnet port {portnumber}
The factory default is 23.
