Section 5 DLP-1 ATLAS 550 System Manual
Perform one of the following steps:
1. Connecting a VT100 terminal to the ATLAS 550:
• Set the parameters of the VT100 terminal or PC to:
– 9600 baud rate
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control
• If the terminal has a parallel setting, disable it and use the serial port.
Using the CRAFT Port
• Plug the DB-9 male end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550 CRAFT Port on the front of
the unit. Make the connection to the VT100 terminal as appropriate for your equipment.
Using the ADMIN Port
• Plug the RJ-45 end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550 ADMIN port on the back of the
unit. Make the connection to the VT100 terminal as appropriate for your equipment.
2. Connecting a PC emulating a VT100 terminal to ATLAS 550:
Most personal computers (PCs) or laptops can run communications software that emulates a VT100
terminal. Examples include Windows programs such as Terminal® or Hyperterminal®. However,
there are many other adequate, commercially available software packages which will allow your PC or
laptop to emulate a VT100 terminal.
• Set the parameters of the communications software to:
– 9600 baud rate
– 8 data bits
– No parity
– 1 stop bit
– No flow control
• Set the PC for direct connect on the appropriate com port (instead of dial up connection).
Using the CRAFT Port
• Plug the DB-9 male end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550 CRAFT Port on the front of
the unit. Make connection to the PC or laptop as appropriate for your equipment.
Using the ADMIN Port
• Plug the RJ-45 end of the data cable into the ATLAS 550 ADMIN port on the back of the
unit. Make connection to the PC or laptop as appropriate for your equipment.
You are now ready to log in to the ATLAS 550, as described in DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550.
