Total Access 1240 Installation and Maintenance Practice
5-2 61179605L5-5B
NOTE
The craft port has priority over Telnet session. If there is an active
craft port session, a Telnet session to the Total Access 1240 cannot
be initiated. If there is an active Telnet session and a craft port
session is initiated, the Telnet session is preempted. The Telnet
session is not available until after the user at the craft port logs off
or the auto-logoff occurs (after 10 minutes of inactivity).
NOTE
The craft port is capable of operating at baud rates of 19200 bps
and 38400 bps.
Connecting a Personal Computer Emulating a VT100 Terminal to Total Access 1240
Most personal computers or laptops can run communications software that emulate a VT
terminal. Windows programs such as Terminal or HyperTerminal are two such examples in
the Windows format, but there are many other adequate, commercially available software
packages, virtually all of which allow the PC or laptop to emulate a VT100 terminal. Certain
configuration items must be set on a PC or laptop to act as a VT100 terminal for the Total
Access 1240.
1. Set the parameters of the communications software to the following settings:
• 9600 baud rate
• 8 data bits
• No parity
•1 stop bit
• No flow control
2. Set the PC for direct connect on the appropriate communications port (as opposed to dial
up connection).
3. Plug the male end of the data cable into the Total Access 1240. Make connection to the PC
or laptop as appropriate for the equipment.
Inband Management Interface
To access the Total Access 1240 through the inband management method, use an appropriate
Telnet client to access the management interface of the Total Access 1240 at the configured IP
address. For more information, refer to “System Management Menu” on page 5-34.
NOTE
A craft port session takes priority over a Telnet session. An active
craft port session must be terminated before a Telnet session can
be successfully started. When a craft port session is initiated, any
active Telnet session is automatically disconnected.
