Alto 818 Installation and Operation

8-4 P/N 66109074001 Rev. D

8.3 TERMINAL SET-UP

The following procedure for setting terminal communication parameters applies to the Qume

QVT 100+ terminal. However, almost any ANSI terminal can be used to configure the Alto 818

(refer to the individual manufacturers' user manuals for terminal setup procedures).

The Alto 818 is shipped with the terminal port set at 300 baud. The baud rate may be changed

to 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 as appropriate. A terminal used with the Alto 818 should be set for

odd parity, 7 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

The Qume QVT 100+ (or equivalent) terminal is set up using the following procedures.

1. Simultaneously press SHIFT and SETUP keys. Setup menu displays at foot of screen. Scroll

down menus to SET 4 EIA=HOST using down arrow key. Scroll across this menu using right

arrow key. Using space bar to alter settings, set parameters to read as follows:

300

After all settings are correct, press SETUP key to exit the setup mode.

2. Locate and press the reset switch (S1) (see Figure 2-3) on the ACU; a sample screen display

follows:

MON 05-JUN-95

The date display is followed by log 01 giving the time and the reset message, log 02 with the

tamper message, and log 03 with the power fail message. For example:

01 02:24:44 RESET

02 02:24:50 TAMPER

03 02:24:50 POWER FAIL

If any system faults are detected, log 03 will be followed by further data log entries which report

failures. Each failure report will be preceded by a number that denotes the sensor port from which

the fault was detected. For example:

04 02:24:55 (4) MSM FAIL

05 02:24:57 (1) VIP TAMPER

Log 04 indicates a failure of the MSM connected at sensor port 4; log 05 indicates the tamper

switch on door 1 VIP is active. If no system faults are indicated, the system is ready to log on

and set up the database.
