Supervisory Port Software

Configuration

4.1 Introduction

The Optimux-XLT1 parameters can be configured from a supervisory terminal

connected to the unit's CONTROL/MNG connector. Remote management is also

possible using the Telnet communication protocol through the unit’s MNG-ETH

connector.

All the example screens shown in this chapter are for different hardware/software

situations that are available.

4.2 Accessing and Exiting the Supervisory Terminal

➤ To access the supervisory terminal for configuration:

1. Connect an ASCII ANSI terminal, or a PC capable of emulating an ASCII ANSI

terminal, to the 25-pin CONTROL/MNG connector on the rear panel of the

Optimux-XLT1 (for the cable wiring diagram, refer to the Control Cable Wiring

figure).

2. Set the terminal communication parameters to: 19,200 baud, 8 bits/character,

one stop bit and no parity bit.

Optimux-XLT1 automatically detects and adapts itself to terminal baud rates of

9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 bps only.

3. Turn the unit on and immediately press <Enter> four or more times. If the

correct baud rate was detected, dots will start to appear correctly on the

terminal screen.

4. Press the dot <.> key once to set the parity and to complete the detection.

This baud setting will be saved in non-volatile RAM.

If the auto-detection fails, the baud rate of the Optimux-XLT1 management

port is the last baud rate that was written in the non-volatile RAM.

5. If a PC is used, run a terminal emulation program.

6. Reset the Optimux-XLT1 or turn it ON.

The Optimux-XLT1 Main Menu appears.
