A-2 Terminal configuration
Overview
Standard 1.0 Modular Option EC Installation and Maintenance Guide November 1999
Overview
Introduction
Several different models of administration terminal can be used
with Meridian Mail. This appendix shows how to configure
each terminal for proper data communications with Meridian
Mail. Chapter 10, “Installing, cabling, and configuring
peripheral devices,” shows how to cable these terminals to the
printer and to the A/B switchbox.
Baud rate
Releases 10 through 13 of Meridian Mail allow baud rates to be
set to 2400 or 9600 bps, depending on the type of modem and
the baud rate selected for your particular configuration.
Whichever baud rate is selected, the terminal configuration
must match the baud rate set for the modems. See Appendix B,
“Modem configurations.”
You configure a terminal by entering the setup mode.
Terminal setup
There are three types of fields in terminal setup screens: action,
read-only, and parameter entry or selection. Most of the fields
on the screens, and almost all the fields you need to use for
setup, are parameter entry or selection fields.
Action fields are indicated by underscores in the figures
illustrating setup screens. Action fields cause an action to take
place, such as clearing the display. Unless instructed otherwise,
you do not need to use action fields.
Note: The underscores do not appear on the terminal screen.
Parameter entry or selection fields are used to enter or select
terminal parameter values.
CAUTION
Risk of data loss
While you can enter setup mode at any
time, do so only while you are logged off
Meridian Mail.
