4.5 Terminal Mode Control
The Terminal Mode Control lets you use an external terminal or computer to monitor and control
the unit. Typically, the Control Port is the RS–232 Serial Interface connection to the terminal
device.
In Terminal Mode Control, the unit shows a full-screen, interactive display using built-in software.
The only external software that is required is VT-100 Terminal Emulation Software.
NOTE
Refer to the Remote Protocol Manual (MN-DMDREMOTEOP) for the terminal screens.
4.5.1 Terminal Mode Screens
The Terminal Mode has eight screens. Use these screens to set the following parameters:
• Modulator • Event • Latched Alarm • Insert Controls
• Demodulator • Alarm • Drop Controls • Interface
NOTE
Refer to the Remote Protocol Manual (MN-DMDREMOTEOP) for the terminal screens.
4.5.2 Terminal Mode Operations
Use the interactive Terminal Mode screens to program the unit. Typically, you select a parameter
by entering the applicable ID number, then enter and save new data for that parameter.
NOTE
Items without ID numbers show status only and you cannot change them.
For example, to change the transmit data rate, enter ID number ‘33’ at the terminal. The screen
then requests either multiple-choice or numerical input.
For multiple-choice input, press SPACE until your choice is shown. Press ENTER to save the
choice.
