Connecting a Second Alternate Host via Serial

If using both of the 5250 OPTIMA’s serial ports as alternate host ports, connect the second device through SERIAL I/O PORT 1. This port has a DB-9, PC/AT-compatible connector. Connecting SERIAL I/O PORT 1 to an alternate host device requires a null modem cable, available as an option from AGILE.

To connect SERIAL I/O PORT 1 to an alternate host device:

1.Insert the device end of the serial alternate host cable into the connector on the rear of the alternate host device.

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