Model 1001MC Operations Guide 3 • Getting started
Introduction
To complete this section you will need the following:
• a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator
• a null-modem cable
• an IP address for your box
• a subnet mask for your box
• the IP address of the default gateway for your LAN
Booting the Model 1001MC
Note If you are starting the Model 1001MC for the first time, you must log
in via the rear panel RS-232 configuration port and set the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
Note The configuration port on your 1001MC is a DTE, which requires a
null modem or equivalent cable when connecting to a terminal.
1. Using personal computer communications software (Procomm, Windows Terminal, BitCom, PC Any-
where, etc.), set the configuration of your communications software to the following parameters:
– Data rate: 19,200 bps
– Async. character format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity
– Terminal emulation: VT-100 (or similar) terminal emulation
2. Connect the RS-232/V.24 port of the terminal to the rear panel RS-232 configuration port of the
1001MC through a null-modem. The RS-232 port is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE).
3. Apply power to the rack system. The Model 1001MC will begin a series of diagnostic tests to exercise the
internal sub-systems in the unit. You must halt the power up sequence in order to enter a new IP address,
mask, and default gateway into the box. Press the b key three times when you see the following:
