5.2.2. Accessing the Text Interface
The Text Interface can be accessed via Network, modem or local PC. In order
to access the Text Interface, your installation must include the following:
• Access Via Network: The NBB must be connected to your TCP/IP
Network, and your PC must include a communications program (such as
Hyperterminal™.)
• Access Via Modem: An external modem must be connected to the
NBB’s Console Port, and a phone line must be connected to the external
modem. Your PC Must include a communications program.
• Access Via Local PC: Your local PC Must be connected to the NBB’s
Console Port. The local PC must include a communications program.
To access command mode via the Text Interface, proceed as follows:
1. The NBB is transparent to parity and will accept 7 or 8 bit characters,
but will always answer back at 8 bits, no parity. Make certain your
communication program is set for the appropriate baud rate, bits, parity
and Comm Port.
a) Via Modem: Start your communications program. Dial the
external modem connected to the NBB. Wait for the Connect
message, then proceed to Step 2.
b) Via Local PC: Start your communications program and press
[Enter]. Wait for the connect message, then proceed to Step 2.
