The software interface is embedded inside the PRISM 4101 and requires an ANSI
compatible VT100 terminal (ASCII), or a computer running an ANSI terminal
emulation program (PROCOMM PLUS

). You can also access this interface

through the LAN or SLIP ports using a telnet session at bit rates from 1.2 to 19.2
kbps. Only one telnet session may be active at any given time.

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 you are using a modem and you send a key sequence before receiving the Connect
message, the modem will hang up due to the
any about key feature of the modem.

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 50. 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.
