2.4.Connecting the Xerox FS 3270 to the System

After a successful test printout has been generated to ensure that the connection between the Xerox FS 3270 converter and the printeris working correctly (see previous section), you are now ready to connect the Xerox FS 3270 to the system.

CAUTION:

All connections to the Xerox FS 3270 protocol converter should be made while the power is switched OFF.

1.Turn off the power and connect the Xerox FS 3270 to your host system using the coax cable.

2.When the connection has been made, turn power ON and check that the CU and READYindicators turn ON. When it does, you have completed the installation procedure and are ready to operate the protocol converter as described below.

What if the CU Indicator fails to turn on?

If the CU indicator does not turn ON, this means that there is no communication with the control unit. You should check the follow ing:

a.The coax cable connection from the control unit to the Xerox FS 3270 .

b.The control unit (is it powered up etc.)

c.Is the control unit supported by the Xerox FS 3270 (See Section 1.3, Supported Control Units, for a list of sup ported control units).
