5.3 Command-Line Interface
A terminal emulation program is used to emulate a video terminal, so as to access
SecureSync's CLI (Command-Line Interface) remotely via a serial cable. This may
be required if no other means of remotely accessing SecureSync are available, for
example if Ethernet ports are used otherwise or have been disabled (e.g., for
security reasons).
5.3.1 Setting up a Terminal Emulator
If no other means are available to access SecureSync, a terminal emulation pro-
gram can be used to carry out certain configuration changes by accessing
SecureSync's CLI (command- line interface) via a serial port connection. An
application example for this scenario is to enable a network port so that the
SecureSync Web UI can be used. While it is also possible to retrieve selected
logs, a terminal emulator does not replace the SecureSync Web UI.
Safran does not distribute or support its own terminal emulator, and newer
Microsoft operating systems no longer include HyperTerminal. However, there
are several third-party open-source programs available, such as TeraTerm
®
or
PuTTY
®
. The example below illustrates the use of TeraTerm. The setup pro-
cedure is similar when using other terminal emulation programs.
Procedure:
1. Connect the personal computer to the USB interface.
2. Configure your terminal emulation program, using the following settings:
Port: COM(#)
Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
