Communication with Terminal Program

8.8.1

Data Terminal

 

If a VideoJet X20 cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is

 

interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to the VideoJet X20 for initial setup and setting

 

of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.

 

You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer

 

and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VideoJet X20 (see Section 8.7.1 Pin

 

Assignment, page 116).

 

HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used

 

as the terminal program.
