11.1 Using the Console Connector
The ECN provides an RS-232 serial port that enables a direct connection to
the ECN using for example the LCT.
To connect a terminal to the console port, complete the following steps:
1. Connect the console cable to the serial port of the ECN Local Craft
Tool, and tighten the captive retaining screws on the DB-9 connector.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 serial port on the
ECN.
3. Set the terminal emulation software (for example Hyper Terminal) as
follows:
• Select the appropriate serial port (COM port 1 or COM port 2).
• Set the data rate to 9600 baud.
• Set the data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
• Set flow control to none, emulation mode to VT100.
• When using HyperTerminal, select Terminal keys, not Windows
keys.
Note: When using HyperTerminal with Microsoft Windows 2000, make
sure that Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 or later is installed. Win-
dows 2000 Service Pack 2 fixes the problem of arrow keys not
functioning in HyperTerminal’s VT100 emulation
Once the terminal is set up correctly, the login session can begin.
