Rear Panel Connections
The rear panel of the FrameStart FSM has five connectors
−
POWER ,
SUPERVISORY PORT , 10/100 ETHERNET , SERIAL INTERFACE , and NET
−
as shown in Figure 1.2. Each of these connectors is described in the
paragraphs below.
Supervisory Port
The SUPERVISORY PORT on the FrameStart FSM is a DB-9 female DCE
connector configured for 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Bit rates are
configured through the Web server interface (see Supervisory Screen on
page 3-15) or VT 100 interface (see Supervisory Configuration Screen on
page 4-16). The Supervisory port speed can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps. The initial default rate of the
Supervisory port is 19200 bps.
On power-up, the Supervisory port sends out diagnostic messages at the bit
rate of 115.2 kbps until the Supervisory service acquires the Supervisory port.
These diagnostic messages can disrupt the connected device; however you can
configure the unit to disable their transmission.
Button Description
EXIT The EXIT button allows exiting a menu option which then places the
unit in the next higher level in the menu hierarchy. If the user is in the
process of editing an option, pressing the
EXIT button exits that screen
without saving any changes. If in the main menu, pressing EXIT logs
off the unit.
SCROLL The SCROLL button allows the user to review the available options for
a given level in the menu hierarchy or to scroll through possible
settings for a parameter. The
SCROLL button is also used to set
alphanumerical values, where applicable, by scrolling incrementally
through digits 0–9 or letters A–Z and a–z.
SELECT The SELECT button allows the user to select the currently displayed
option or value for a given field, and is also used to enter an “edit”
mode for parameters that require user-specified input. Additionally, the
SELECT button is used to confirm certain actions or settings.
