Connecting a VT100 Terminal

Connecting a VT100 Terminal

The bridge can be configured and monitored through a direct serial connection to the bridge RS232 port on the rear of the bridge unit.

The bridge functions as a DCE; the terminal must be DTE.

You must use an RS232 straight-through serial cable to connect the bridge serial port to your Macintosh or PC.The bridge connec- tor requires a male DB9; a Macintosh requires a DIN8, and PCs may require DB9, DB15, or DB25 connectors.
