3.2 Required Equipment
To configure the Modbus port parameters, you will need either of the following devices:
VDEC VT100 or equivalent terminal, with a compatible serial cable
VIBM AT or XT or equivalent computer product, running a VT100 terminal emulation program such as PROCOMM PLUS, with a compatible serial cable.
A listing of compatible terminals and cables is provided in Appendix A.
Some terminal emulation programs, such as PROCOMM PLUS, allow you to store the keystrokes you use into a `script' file on your disk. This allows you to duplicate your future configurations from the disk, without having to key in the parameters. Refer to the documents for your emulation program for further details.
If you have a printing terminal, or a printer connected to your emulator, you can print a hard copy record of your BM85 configuration. This will be helpful in documenting your configuration. Typically, you can use your terminal's `Print Screen' (or equivalent) key to print the hard copy.
