Western Telematic SRM-100 - Manual (Page 17)

5. Set-Up and Configuration
This section describes the procedures for selecting SRM configuration parameters. The default
SRM parameters are intended to fit the requirements of most applications. Please review the
default settings to determine if any parameters must be changed. In many cases, the factory
defaults will work just fine.
5.1. Command Mode Access
The Command Mode allows the user to select parameters, define passwords, and review the
connection activity log. There are two ways to access the Command Mode; via the Console
Port and via Modem.
Note: While the Command Mode is active, inbound callers will receive a busy
signal.
5.1.1. Access Via the Console Port
When a Local PC or terminal is connected to the SRM Console Port, system administrators can
access the Command Mode as follows:
Note: When the SRM is accessed via the Console Port, the password prompt is not
displayed. The password prompt is always displayed when the unit is accessed via
Modem.
· PC: Start your communications program (e.g. ProComm) and then press [Enter]. The
SRM Help Screen (see Figure 5.1) will
be displayed.
· Terminal: Press [Enter]. The Help Screen will be displayed.
If the SRM-100 does not respond, check the following:
· Console Port Communication Parameters: The SRM Console Port and your
communications program or terminal must be set to use the same communication
parameters. The default Console Port parameters are 9600 bps, No Parity, 8 Data Bits,
One Stop Bit.
· Correct Port: Make certain that your communications program or terminal is set to use
the Com port that is connected to the SRM Console Port.
