1. Press the <CR> key three times. When HCD-E1 has successfully
identified the data rate of the supervision terminal, it notifies you of the
results of its power-up self-test:
HCD Self Test in Progress...OK, or
HCD Self Test in Progress...Failed
•
If the HCD-E1 self test failed, you must repair HCD-E1 before you
can continue using it.
•
If HCD-E1 successfully passed the power-up self-test, it sends the
following message:
HCD Supervisory Port On Line. Type ‘H’ For Help
Note
Pressing <CR> activates the HCD-E1 self-test only if it is the first session after
HCD-E1 has been turned on.
If the optional password protection has been activated, HCD-E1
displays the following prompt:
PASSWORD>
2. Type the password (four to eight characters) and then press <CR>.
For each password character typed by you the terminal displays an
asterisk *. The default password is HCD.
3. If the password is accepted, HCD-E1 enters the session, and the
terminal displays:
HCD>
The HCD-E1 front panel display shows:
TERMINAL ON LINE
The front panel controls are disabled as long as HCD-E1 is under remote
control.
Note
To regain the front-panel control at the local site, use the options described
in the section “Ending a Control Session” below.
Starting a Session
- Multiple HCD-E1
When one terminal is used to control several HCD-E1 connected via
modems, non-zero node numbers are assigned to each HCD-E1. The node
numbers, in the range of 1 to 255, are assigned during the first session (see
the previous section), by means of the command DEF NODE.
Important
If you are using a multidrop configuration, do not assign address 0 to any of
the HCD-E1 connected to a given terminal. Make sure the interface type is
set as DTE, and select the appropriate DCD_DEL parameter.
