AdapterUser’sGuide
The Ethernet Terminal consists of a standard Boundless
Technologies text terminal with an adapter installed. The
terminal’s EIA port is re-configured as a 10BaseT (Twisted-Pair)
Ethernet port replacing the terminal’s EIA RS-232
communications port. The adapter provides the text terminal
with a single Telnet session. (Telnet is an application providing
terminal emulation connectivity for logging on to a remote
system.)

The adapter provides 802.3 Ethernet connectivity, TCP/IP host
connectivity, and Telnet application connectivity.
ConfiguringTheTerminal
In order for the adapter to function successfully, the terminal
should be configured as follows:
Data Format
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No parity
EIA Baud Rate
38400
EIA Communication Protocol
None
Xon/Xoff
DTR/DSR
Both
This setting should match the CommProtocol setting of the
adapter (see page 9). If the adapter’s CommProtocol is set to
None, the terminal could lose data.
Emulation
This adapter works with all the standard terminal
emulations. However, the host emulation should match the
terminal emulation.
For example, a user logs on to a UNIX system, and selects
the host emulation to be AT386 (using the command
TERM=AT386 <CR> followed by set TERM<CR>). At this point,
the user must make sure that the terminal emulation is also
set to AT386 (by entering the terminal setup and checking
the emulation parameter).
A terminal in PC-Term emulation with Scan Code mode on, can
not navigate the adapter setup menu. Change the key mode to
ASCII or change the terminal emulation to other than PC-
StartupSequence 3
Term during the setup navigation. Once the adapter is setup
and running, you can change the terminal’s and host’s
emulation back to PC-Term.
StartupSequence
When the terminal is turned on, it performs an initial adapter
diagnostic test and displays a message indicating the result of
that test.
◊Ethernetpass indicates that the test was successful and the
card is functioning properly.
◊Ethernetcheckxxh means that the diagnostic test has failed
(see table labeled Diagnostic Results below).
◊The Ethernet check may also be followed by the message
FATALERROR.MACaddressfailure,contacttechnicalsupport.This
message indicates that the card’s MAC address has been
corrupted beyond software recovery. Record all error
information and contact your Technical Support
Department for assistance (see the inside of the back cover
for details).
The adapter will continue to operate after these error
messages, however there is no guarantee that the unit will be
able to connect to a host.
If the EEPROM checksum fails, all IP addresses are set to
0.0.0.0, PoweronConnecttoNo, and CommProtocol to Both.

DisplayingtheEthernetInterfaceMainMenu
If the PoweronConnect mode is Off (see page 8) at the conclusion
of the startup diagnostics, you can press any key to enter the
setup menu.
Note that the Main Menu is accessible only when the
terminal is disconnected from the host.
If the PoweronConnect mode is On, the card will automatically try
to connect to the host.

As shown in the illustration above, the Main Menu provides
the following functions:
◊Selection 1(Setup Menu) allows you to configure the
Ethernet interface.
ConfiguringtheEthernetInterface 5
◊Selection 2(Connect to Host) allows you initiate or
terminate the Telnet connection to the host.
◊Selection 3(Ping) allows you to test the host connection by
sending and receiving predefined test messages.
◊Selection 4(Hardware Information) allows you display the
results of the initialization diagnostics as well as hardware
information about the adapter.
◊Selection 9allows you exit the Main Menu and clear the
Setup Menu. The Ethernet interface will wait for the next
key (any key) to activate the Main Menu.
ConfiguringtheEthernetInterface
The procedures detailed in the following sections require some
site-specific configuration information that must be supplied by
your local network administrator. Before attempting to
configure the Ethernet interface, make sure you have access to
the following communication parameters:
◊IP address of the terminal
◊IP address of the host
◊IP address of the default gateway (if any)
◊value for the subnet mask
To configure the terminal’s Ethernet interface, you must first
select option number 1(Setup Menu) from the Main Menu. The
terminal displays the following Setup Menu. Initially,
selections 1 through 4 are shown with their default values
(0.0.0.0).

EditHostIPAddress
To define your host IP address, select option number 1. When
prompted, enter the host’s IP address in dotted-decimal format
as shown in the following example:
EnterHostIPaddress>175.55.172.90
↵↵
In this document, all user entries are displayed in italics with
the Enter key represented by a
↵↵
symbol as shown in the
previous example.
If a valid address is entered, the terminal stores the
information in its working memory and returns to the Setup
Menu with the EditHostIPaddr field updated.
