Trying it Turn on the mainframe while watching the terminal’s display. After the
mainframe finishes its self-test, the terminal should display "Select an
instrument". If not, the mainframe’s communication parameters are not set to
the default values. Go back to “Restoring the Default Configuration”.

Configuring the
Mainframe with
Menus
After you have your terminal communicating with your mainframe at the default
settings you may want to change to settings which are better for your installation.
You can make these changes to the serial interface configuration using the
Display Terminal Interface menus. Several of the changes you can make using
the menus will cause communication between the terminal and mainframe to be
lost. You will have to match each change in the mainframe configuration with a
corresponding change in your terminal’s configuration. Use the following
procedure:
1. Change the mainframe configuration (see the menu example on
page C-5).
2. Change the terminal’s configuration to match the change from step one.
Repeat steps one and two for each desired configuration change.
Any changes you make to the mainframe configuration are only temporary (lost
when power is removed) until you put them into non-volatile storage. To store
the current configuration, follow the menu example on page C-6.
