A-2 Connect the Setup Terminal
At start-up, the system starts a configuration session to perform the setup of the
system module and configure the system I/O. Setup data can inserted using two
different instruments:
• A Personal Computer using a Telnet session connected to the Ethernet
port of the Base Unit (LAN connector).
• A VT100 terminal or a Personal Computer with Hyper Terminal program
and connected to the optional RS232 port of the Base Unit (X0 connector);
A-2-1 Telnet Communications Connection
In order to connect the Basic Unit to a Personal Computer using the Ethernet port
there are two possibilities:
1. Through a Switch or a HUB (MP -> HUB/Switch -> PC).
Connect to the LAN connector a straight through (not crossed) LAN cable
to connect the Basic Unit to the Switch or HUB (the connection between the
HUB/Switch is also a straight through connection):
2. Directly to the Personal Computer
C
onnect to the LAN connector crossed LAN cable to connect the Basic Unit
directly to the PC:
Once the PC is connected to the basic unit, start the Telnet program in order to
communicate with the MP-01 and begin the setup session.
