8.7 Communication with Terminal Program
Data Terminal
If a VIP XD cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is interrupted,
you can connect a data terminal to the VIP XD for initial setup and setting of important
parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.
You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer
and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VIP XD (see Section Pin Assignment,
page 66).
HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used
as the terminal program.
1. Disconnect the VIP XD from the Ethernet network before working with the terminal
program.
2. Connect the serial interface of the VIP XD using any available serial interface on the
computer.
Configuring the Terminal
Before the terminal program can communicate with the VIP XD, the transmission parameters
must be matched. Make the following settings for the terminal program:
– 19,200 bps
– 8 data bits
– No parity check
–1 stop bit
– No protocol
Command Inputs
After the connection has been established, you must log on to the VIP XD to access the main
menu. Other submenus and functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.
1. If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values are not repeated on the
display.
2. Enter one command at a time.
3. When you have entered a value (such as an IP address), check the characters you have
entered before pressing Enter to transfer the values to the VIP XD.

Information on installing and using HyperTerminal can be found in the manuals or in the online
