Logging on via the Serial Port
When you first connect to the router through the serial port, the router will
be in “auto-baud” mode where it is waiting for keyboard input to set the
baud rate. In the auto-baud mode, the router starts at 9600 baud and looks
for the [
Enter ] key being pressed. If the data received is not an [ Enter ],
the baud rate increases up to the default rate of 38400.
To log on to the modem via HyperTerminal:
1 If using Windows on a PC, select Start > Programs > Accessories >
HyperTerminal.

Types of User Interfaces
The modem provides two user interfaces:

provides status and configuration information. Only the command-line
interface is available over the serial port connection.
