Installation

This section provides a “walk -through” approach to the installation of your terminal. This will enable you to physically connect the terminal to a printer and one or two host computer(s)/modem(s), as well as to configure the Setup menu to suit your requirements and preferences.

The terminal is designed to provide great flexibility in configuring the terminal. An example of the flexibility is apparent in the fact that either the EIA or Aux ports can be used to connect either to a host or a printer port. In addition, a physical port can be assigned as a host port in one session and as a printer port in the other session, if desired. In another case, data can potentially be “printed” from one session to the other.

The procedures described here are among the most common. Described here are conventional single and dual host setups, with or without a printer. These steps may need to be adjusted to meet your requirements.

STEP 1 – Know Your Devices

The first step in our installation process will be to determine what type of serial ports you are connecting to the terminal. The Communications section in the Introduction chapter describes the differences between a DTE and DCE serial device. Determine what type of devices you are using (a DTE host, a DCE modem, a DTE printer, a parallel printer, etc.).

STEP 2 – Physical Connections

Depending on the types of serial interfaces of your devices, you may need one or more “null modem” adapters to communicate properly.

First, refer to the Common Setups diagrams later in this chapter. If one of these setups matches your needs, then make the connections as shown in the diagrams by referring to the Host/Printer Connection. Each cable connection in the diagram (the lines with arrows on each end) has a letter next to it.

The letters correspond to the letters in the Host/Printer Connection Guide. If these set-ups don’t apply, then choose the connections in the Host/Printer Connection Guide that are appropriate.

Your physical connections are now complete.
