Attached Terminal
or Modem Does
Not Operate
(Only if a local console or modem is attached)
If a terminal or modem is attached to the console port and does not
seem to be operating properly, follow the troubleshooting procedures
recommended by the terminal/modem manufacturer. Also perform the
following steps:
1 Make sure that the cable connections at both ends are secure.
2 Ensure that the cable attached to the AccessBuilder is the proper cable
(straight-through for a terminal/PC and null modem for a modem).
If connecting to a terminal, a straight-through cable conforming to the
VT-100 specification must be used. This applies only to the
AccessBuilder 4000.
3 Check the console port configuration.
Refer to the “AccessBuilder Software Configuration Guide” for more
information. Verify that the terminal/PC or modem is configured as 8
data bits, no parity, one stop bit, 9600 baud rate, with flow control
parameters set to Xon and Xoff (software flow control).
System Does Not
Respond to
Terminal
Commands
(Only if a local console is attached)
If the AccessBuilder power is on but the terminal fails to respond to
commands entered at the keyboard, try the following procedures:
1 Verify that a straight-through cable is used between the AccessBuilder
and the terminal or workstation running the terminal emulator.
2 Power off the terminal, wait 30 seconds, and then power it on again.
3 If the system still does not respond to commands, power off the
AccessBuilder and terminal and check the keyboard cable connection to
ensure it is secure.
4 Power on the AccessBuilder and the terminal again.
5 Check the state of the LEDs on the front of the AccessBuilder as shown
in Table 4-1.
