when the terminal is used to control a single fcd-2, always assign node address 0 to fcd-2. use the following start-up sequence to connect to fcd-2 assigned node number 0.
1. if you use the auto (autobaud) mode, press the [enter] key three times.
this allows fcd-2 to identify the terminal data rate.
assuming that fcd-2 successfully identified the data rate of the supervision terminal, you will be notified if fcd-2 failed the power-up self-test:
(1) if you see fed-2 selftest failed, fcd-2 must be repaired before you can continue using it.
(2) if fcd-2 successfully passed the power-up self-test, it sends the following message:

where [bel] stands for the graphic symbol of the [bel] code (ascii 07).
by now, the fcd-2 prompt should already be displayed on the terminal screen, after the on-line announcement.
2. if you see enter password], this indicates that password protection is enabled. in this case, type:
password= [sp]'password' [enter]
where 'password' stands for the current password (four to eight characters).
the default password is fcd-2. if your password is accepted, you will see the working prompt, fcd-2].
fcd-2 is now in session, under your control.
on the fcd-2 front panel lcd you will the message:

x.y is the fcd-2 software version. the front panel controls are disabled as long as fcd-2 is under remote control.
while the supervision terminal is in session with fcd-2, the fcd-2 local operator can regain control by disconnecting the cable from the fcd-2 sp connector or by sending the exit command from the terminal.
fcd-2 automatically returns to the front panel control if no commands are received for a certain period of time (controlled by the log_off parameter). this feature can be however disabled.
