2.10. Controlling Target Devices via a Terminal
Emulator
Function overview
Executing the terminal command from the shell console launches a control
application called a "terminal emulator", which can control serial devices connected
to the target port of this product.
The terminal emulator can be launched from either a local console or a remote
terminal.
However, because it is launched exclusively, it cannot be started simultaneously by
multiple users.
Refer to
3.2 Terminal Emulator (page 29)
Procedure
The following explanation uses an example scenario where the terminal emulator is
launched and a Linux PC connected to the target port is accessed.
1.
From a local console or a terminal PC on a network, log in to the product and
execute the terminal command from the shell console.
