Western Telematic SRM-100 Network Card User Manual


 
5. Set-Up and Configuration
This section describes the procedure for configuring the SRM unit to fit the needs of your
installation. Note that the default SRM parameters are intended to fit the requirements of most
applications. Before configuring the unit, please review the default settings to determine if any
parameters must be changed. In many cases, the factory defaults will work just fine.
5.1. Command Mode Access
There are two ways to access the SRM Command Mode; via the Console Port and via Modem.
Note that while the Command Mode is active, inbound callers will receive a busy signal.
5.1.1. Access Via the Console Port
When a Local PC or terminal is connected to the SRM Console Port, system administrators can
access the Command Mode as follows:
1. Start your communications program (e.g. ProComm) and then press [Enter].
2. If the Console Port Password has been defined, a password prompt will be displayed.
Key in either the Console Port Password, or the System Password (Default = SUPER),
and then press [Enter]. Note that if the Console Port Password has not been defined, the
Password prompt will not be displayed. The SRM Help Screen (see Figure 5.1) will be
displayed.
If the SRM-100 does not respond, check the following:
· Console Port Communication Parameters: The SRM Console Port and your
communications program or terminal must be set to use the same communication
parameters. The factory set default Console Port parameters are 9600 bps, No Parity, 8
Data Bits,
One Stop Bit.
· Correct Port: Make certain that your communications program or terminal is set to use
the Com port that is connected to the SRM Console Port.
