Patton electronic 1001MC User Manual

Introduction

Model 1001MC Operations Guide 

To complete this section you will need the following:

•

a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator

•

a null-modem cable

•

an IP address for your box

•

a subnet mask for your box

•

the IP address of the default gateway for your LAN

If you are starting the Model 1001MC for the first time, you must log 
in via the rear panel RS-232 configuration port and set the IP 
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

The configuration port on your 1001MC is a DTE, which requires a 
null modem or equivalent cable when connecting to a terminal.

1. Using personal computer communications software (Procomm, Windows Terminal, BitCom, PC Any-

where, etc.), set the configuration of your communications software to the following parameters:

– Data rate: 19,200 bps

– Async. character format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity

– Terminal emulation: VT-100 (or similar) terminal emulation

2. Connect the RS-232/V.24 port of the terminal to the rear panel RS-232 configuration port of the 

1001MC through a null-modem. The RS-232 port is configured as data terminal equipment (DTE).

3. Apply power to the rack system. The Model 1001MC will begin a series of diagnostic tests to exercise the 

internal sub-systems in the unit. You must halt the power up sequence in order to enter a new IP address, 
mask, and default gateway into the box. Press the b key three times when you see the following:
