6.4 FAN Tray operation via Terminal
FAN Tray operation via Terminal is intended as the interactive control and monitoring of
one or more NIM8304 crates by using a remote terminal. The remote operation via
Terminal can be performed in different ways, according to the interface used to
communicate with the system. Nominally, it can be achieved by:
• Using the RS232 interface to connect one Mod. NIM8304 FAN Tray system to a
VT100-like terminal or to a standard PC running a terminal emulator program;
• Using the USB interface to connect one Mod. NIM8304 FAN Tray system to a
standard PC (the USB is managed as RS232 as described in § 5.6)
• Using the TCP/IP protocol via Ethernet to perform a Telnet connection.
