ASMi-450 Control from the Control Port
4-26 ASMi-450 Installation and Operation Manual
4.6 Control Terminal Operating Instructions
Before using the control terminal, make sure the preparations listed in
Section 4-3 were completed and all the relevant equipment has been turned on.
Starting a Session
- Single ASMi-450
When the terminal is used to control a single ASMi-450, always assign node
address 0 to the ASMi-450. Use the following start-up sequence to connect to a
ASMi-450 that has been assigned node number 0.
1. If you use the AUTO (Autobaud) mode, press the <CR> key three times.
This allows the ASMi-450 to identify the terminal data rate.
2. Assuming that the ASMi-450 successfully identified the data rate of the
control terminal, you will be notified if the ASMi-450 failed the power-up
self-test:
• If you see ASMi-450 SELFTEST FAILED, the ASMi-450 must be
repaired before you can continue using it.
• If ASMi-450 successfully passed the power-up self-test (ASMi-450
SELFTEST OK), it sends the following message:
ASMI SUPERVISORY PORT ON LINE. TYPE “H” FOR HELP
3. By now, the ASMi-450 prompt should already be displayed on the terminal
screen, after the ON-LINE announcement. If you see
PASSWORD>
this indicates that password protection is enabled. In this case, type the
password:
'password'<CR>
where 'password' stands for the current password (four to eight characters). For
each password character typed by you, the terminal displays an asterisk *.
The default password is ASMI.
If your password is accepted, you will see the prompt ASMI>.
4. The ASMi-450 is now in session, under your control:
• On your terminal, you will see the prompt:
ASMI>
• On the ASMi-450 front panel, you will see the message:
TERMINAL ON LINE
The front panel controls are disabled as long as the ASMi-450 is under
remote control.
