3 Configuration of the WIMAN radio modem
The operating system of the WIMAN has an integrated com-
mand line interpreter ("Shell") for configuration. Input and out-
put is shown on the input/output window of the PC terminal pro-
gram (e.g. TELIX, ZOC), which must be able to emulate a VT-
terminal (DEC). The communication parameters of the terminal
program and the WIMAN must correspond so that the WIMAN
and the Computer can communicate.
Note:
The default settings of the RS-232-interface of the WIMAN is
adjusted to a data rate of 9600 Bit/s, a data length of 8 data bits,
one stop bit and no parity check (8N1). As handshaking proce-
dure software handshaking is configured.
To ensure that the terminal program uses the same parameters,
set the communication parameters of the terminal program to the
values stated above. If these parameters were not set correctly
communication with the WIMAN radio modem is not possible.
These values can be preset in the terminal program, thus starting
the terminal program immediately with the suitable settings.
After the WIMAN is attached to the operating voltage, it
switches itself into the transparent data-communication operat-
ing mode. Pressing the INPUT key in your terminal program
brings you to the command line level of the WIMAN.
The command line prompt should appear as follows:
WIMAN II Configuration Shell (TTY connection)
WIMAN-II >
If the WIMAN is not configured to the factory-installed de-
faults, another command line prompt may appear. It is also pos-
sible that the first authorization level of the command line level
is protected by a password.
If so, the following message appears:
WIMAN II Configuration Shell (TTY connection)
Enter password:
In this case you need the password of the supplier of the
WIMAN. If the password should not be available, please contact
your WIMAN Distributor.
Note:
If you do not arrive at the command line level of the WIMAN or
if only “confused” characters are shown on the screen after you
have adjusted the above mentioned settings, do not be con-
cerned. It may be that the configuration of the WIMAN has al-
