VTrak E-Class Product Manual

Setting-up the Serial Connection

The initial connection accesses the VTrak’s serial port using the serial cable

connection you made. See “Making Serial Cable Connections” on page 40.

Use your PC’s terminal emulation program, such as Microsoft HyperTerminal, to

access the VTrak’s Command Line Interface (CLI).

You can also use the serial connection to manage the VTrak through the

Command Line Utility (CLU).

To make the initial serial connection:

1. Change your terminal emulation application settings to match the following

specifications:

• Bits per second: 115200

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: none

2. Start your PC’s terminal VT100 or ANSI emulation program.

3. Press Enter once to launch the CLI.

4. At the Login prompt, type administrator and press Enter.

5. At the Password prompt, type password and press Enter.
