7 The Monitor
7.1 Introduction
For configuration and diagnostics the modems have a serial interface to connect
a terminal or a PC with terminal emulation. The terminal gives access to a com-
mandline interface (the Monitor) to supervise and configure the modems.
All tabletop modems, the minirack mechanics and the tabletop housing for plug-
ins are equipped with a RS-232 serial Monitor interface.
If the plug-ins are installed in a subrack then the serial interface is available on
the ACU.
The monitor is also accessible from the master side through the DSL EOC on a
DSL slave.
The terminal emulation must be VT100 compatible and must be configured as
follows:
• 9600 baud, asynchronous
• 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit
• No new line on carriage return (i.e. no line feed on carriage return)
• XON/XOFF enabled
Notes:
• The XON/XOFF protocol is used between terminal and the plug-ins for flow
control. In order to re-enable communication with a plug-in occasionally left
in XOFF state, it is recommended to start each session with Ctrl-Q (=XON)
followed by an ECHO command.
• If you use the HyperTerm terminal emulator delivered with Windows® then
you must configure HyperTerm for VT100 emulation in the "Settings" tab of
the connection properties (File – Properties).
