Connecting the First Alternate Host via Serial

The 5250 OPTIMA’s first serial connection to an alternate host device should be made through SERIAL I/O PORT 0. This port has a DB-25, DCE-standard pin-out, and may be connected to an alternate host device using a standard serial cable. This cable is available as an option from

AGILE.

To connect SERIAL I/O PORT 0 to an alternate host device:

1.Insert one end of the serial printer cable into the connector on the rear of the alternate host device. Both ends of the cable are the same, so either end may be used.

2.Tighten the thumbscrews until the connection is firm, but do not overtighten.
