Normally, out of the box, MicroVAXen should  D be 9600 baud, no parity and 1 stop bit.  XON/XOFF is the usual flow  control mechanism.  H As other folks have said, you should get output from the console fairly G quickly after power-up.  Your system should go through a count-down of  F "tests" prior to boot.  Something like "44, 43, 43..."  or "2...1...0"I You might also get a "menu" asking for you to input a numeric equivalent  / for what language you want your console to use.   E There should be a "window" on the back of the system near the center  E close to the bottom of the back panel (nearer the power cord) with a  I group of eight LEDs.  If you aren't getting anything (including terminal  D gibberish) check these lights to see if their "display" has a fixed E pattern.  This could indicate that you've got some problem, probably  G hardware, on the system.  Try the various MMJ ports on the back of the  I system to see if you get any response even if the LED display is "fixed"  H just to see if you've booted and had the wrong port all along.  You may H also have more than one MMJ port on the back of your VT320.  You should G use the one marked with the two arrows and not the one with the little   printer.  G The 3100-40 is one of the newer MicroVAXen and the console is somewhat  I more capable than earlier VAXen of the same general size.  You should be  H able to use commands like SHOW MEM, SHOW DEVICE, SHOW BOOT (shows which F device you'll boot from), SHOW BFLG (boot flags to select system root 9 and VMB boot flags), HALT, UNJAM, INIT and possibly HELP.    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2005.523 ************************
