Appendix A
Terminal Configurator
This appendix describes how to use the Terminal Configurator to configure the Ethernet
Adapter.
The Terminal Configurator is an alternate method used to configure your Ethernet Adapter.
The Terminal Configurator is a text-based configuration method. You can access the
Terminal Configurator by one of the following methods:
• Through direct serial connection. When using a direct serial connection, the
Ethernet Adapter communicates with a serial terminal or a computer that is
running terminal emulation software. Some common examples of terminal
emulation software include HyperTerminal, ProComm, and Telix.
Configuration using a direct serial connection can be performed at any time,
regardless of the current settings of the Ethernet Adapter.
• Over a telnet connection. When using a telnet connection, the unit
communicates via TCP/IP with a computer running a telnet program. A telnet
connection can be used to configure Ethernet Adapter units outside of your
local area network, when the Ethernet Manager cannot be used, because the
TCP/IP communication is routeable.
