Guralp Systems CMG-DCM build <10,000 - Manual (Page 30)

CMG-EAM (Platinum Firmware)
3.2 Using the command-line configuration system
All of the configuration facilities available under the “All options”
menu item (in the left-hand menu of the web interface) are also
available from a text-based GUI tool called gconfig (Güralp
Configurator). This can be accessed either by using a serial link or,
over the network, by using ssh.
Connection via a serial link is discussed in section 2.1 on page 15 and
connecting over Ethernet is described in section 2.2 on page 17. The
use of ssh is covered in section 2.2.4 on page 21.
For optimal display, you must let the CMG_EAM know what type of
terminal or emulator you are using. This is done by setting the terminal
type as an environment variable using the command:
eam999 ~ # export TERM=TERM_TYPE
The value of the TERM variable,
TERM_TYPE
, depends upon the
terminal emulator you are using and should be chosen as follows:
Emulator in use TERM setting
ssh under Unix No action required - the ssh protocol sets the
TERM environment variable automatically.
PuTTY (in ssh
mode) under Windows
No action required - the ssh protocol sets the
TERM environment variable automatically.
PuTTY will default to xterm emulation,
allowing the mouse to be used within
gconfig.
Minicom under Unix Minicom emulates a vt100-style terminal
and automatically maps the keystrokes and
display sequences for the actual terminal
you are using, so the default TERM setting of
vt100 is correct.
HyperTerminal under
Windows Using the File menu option “Settings”,
ensure that the terminal type is set to VT100.
HyperTerminal will then emulate a vt100-
style terminal, which will match the default
TERM of vt100 on the CMG-EAM.
Scream! Scream! versions before 4.5 do not support
the required screen-drawing control codes so
its use with gconfig is not recommended.
