Configuring HCD-E1
2. Connect the terminal to the CONTROL DCE port of HCD-E1.
3. Press
4. If the terminal displays the password prompt (PASSWORD>), enter the
password. The default password is HCD. If the node number of
HCD-E1 is a number other than zero, enter the node number along
with the password. Use the following syntax:
NODE
by the desired command.
The prompt HCD> appears.
5. Select the control terminal type by entering the DEF TERM command.
The default terminal type is VT-100. The other type options are VT-52,
TV-920, FREEDOM-100, and FREEDOM-220. Use the following syntax
to set the terminal type:
DEF TERM
Note
If you enter DEF TERM without the terminal type, HCD-E1 resets all the
control terminal codes to 0.
If your terminal requires control sequences different from those used by
the terminals listed above, type the command F and enter your terminal
control sequences. If the current control codes are not compatible with
your terminal and you cannot enter the desired codes, enter the INIT F
command to reset the codes to 0, then use the F command to modify
the control codes starting from the known field values.
6. Set the following additional CONTROL DCE port parameters by
entering the DEF SP command: password protection, idle disconnect
time etc.
7. Set the system parameters by entering the DEF SYS command.
8. Set the sublink parameters by entering the DEF SL command.
9. Configure the data channel parameters by entering the DEF CH X
command, where X is the channel number (1 or 2).
10. If you are using an SNMP management application:
Use the DEF AGENT command to configure the SNMP agent
parameters.
Use the DEF DL command to configure the in-band management
parameters.
11. If you are using the terminal to control a single HCD-E1 unit, do not
change the node number 0 assigned to the unit. For multidrop
operation, you can assign each HCD-E1 unit a node number between 1
and 255. Use the DEF NODE command to assign a node number.
