APPENDIX E: USING AUATC FOR RS-232 ACCESS 75
Configuring the AUATC
Press [Alt] + [F2] to activate the Setup Screen, where you can select your desired serial-communication
parameters (baud rate, etc.) and type of local video output. The initial parameters will always start at their
factory defaults, so make sure that the serial port or device to which the AUATC is attached is temporarily
configured for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. (If the port or device cannot support all of
these settings, you must temporarily attach one that can.) Also, if you want to perform initial configuration
with a local user station, it must consist of a PS/2 keyboard and VGA monitor.
Available data-rate (“Baud Rate”) settings are 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19,200 bps. You can select even, odd,
or no (“None”) parity; 7 or 8 data bits; and 1 or 2 stop bits (but 7 data bits requires 2 stop bits). The
terminal type is fixed at VT100.
To force local VGA output even when your local keyboard is a Sun type, access the AUATC from a user
station with a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Activate the Setup Screen and change the video option
from Sun keyboard to VGA. You can then access the AUATC from Sun type user stations.
