Using the Asynchronous
Terminal Interface
Connecting to the Terminal Port
The device used for the Asynchronous Terminal Interface (ATI) can be a
VT100-compatible async terminal, or a PC running emulation software. The
terminal or PC can be connected to the Terminal port directly, or through an
external modem.
Ensure that the device you connect communicates using these settings:
2
Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.
Character length set to 8.
Parity set to None.
Stop Bits set to 1.
Terminal port settings cannot be changed from the ATI.
