3-6 Configuration Alternatives RICi-E3, RICi-T3 Ver. 1.0
3.4 Configuration Alternatives
Configuration and monitoring operations are performed locally from an ASCII
terminal connected to the control port or from a PC on the network via
ConfiguRAD or RADview-Lite.
The following functions are supported by the RICi-E3, RICi-T3 management
software:
• Viewing system information
• Modifying configuration and mode of operation, including setting system
default values and resetting the unit
• Monitoring RICi-E3, RICi-T3 performance
• Initiating connectivity tests
• Upgrading software.
Working via ASCII Terminal
RICi-E3, RICi-T3 includes a V.24/RS-232 asynchronous DCE port, designated
CONTROL and terminated in a 9-pin D-type female connector. The CONTROL port
continuously monitors the incoming data stream and immediately responds to
any input string received through this port.
You may configure the RICi-E3, RICi-T3 control port to communicate at 9.6, 19.2,
or 115.2 Kbps. To communicate with a PC, you have to set it to communicate at
115. 2 Kbps.
 To start a terminal control session:
1. Make sure all RICi-E3, RICi-T3 cables and connectors are properly connected.
2. Connect RICi-E3, RICi-T3 to a PC equipped with an ASCII terminal emulation
application such as HyperTerminal or Procomm.
3. Connect an ASCII terminal to the CONTROL port at the front panel. The
default settings are as follows:
 Baud Rate: 115,200 bps
