NTERFACE
Extensive software configuration can be performed through an ANSI compatible
VT100 terminal interface (ASCII), or a computer running an ANSI terminal
emulation program (PROCOMM PLUS

) through the SUPV port (page 11). You
can also access this interface through the LAN port (page 10) or SLIP port (page
11) using a telnet session.
Interface Access Once a compatible VT100 terminal is properly connected to the unit, you can start
a terminal interface session by sending a BREAK command to the unit or by
pressing the Return or Enter key four times. If a password has been previously
established, you must enter the correct password to continue the session. The
password is case-sensitive. If you have forgotten your password, note the date and
time shown on your screen and contact TXPORT Technical Support. You can
establish or modify your password through the Utilities screen on page 74. Once a
valid password has been entered, the Main Menu screen is displayed.
If you do not enter a keystroke for 10 minutes, the terminal interface logs off
automatically.
Interface
Conventions All terminal interface screens have several common components as displayed in
