Chapter 6 Configuration & Operation
This chapter describes the operation of the SeriaLAN through its Control port.
The unit must be connected to a VT100 compatible terminal or to a PC running a VT100
terminal emulation software that should be configured as follows:
• Speed: 19200 bps
• Data format: 8 bits
• Parity: none
• Stop bit: 1
• Emulation: VT100
• Flow control: none
SeriaLAN configuration can be made either in VT100 Interactive menu mode or in AT
command mode.
The use of the VT100 mode offers advantages such as simplicity and on line help.
The use of the AT commands allows writing configuration programs (scripts) which can be
saved out of the unit on a PC for instance and can also be protected with a password.
All the SeriaLAN operating parameters can be modified and saved in either mode.
6.1. VT100 Interactive Menus
The unit sends the VT100 menu pages when it detects three consecutive <CR> or 'ENTER'
characters.
The possible choices are listed on the bottom line of the screen:
• 1 to 9 are valid options on the menu to start a sub-menu or to change a parameter
value
• P or p: to return to the Previous menu
• Q or q or <Esc>: to Quit the VT100 menus and return to the AT command mode
Some menus require the use of the arrow keys. These keys may need to be enabled in
some terminal emulation software. Keys / * - + can be used alternatively in any case of
problems with the arrow keys :
LEFT: / RIGHT: * UP: - DOWN: +
