Terminal Adapter Data-Only

Stations

Figure 6-5 on page 6-16 shows an equipment configuration for a terminal adapter data-only station.

To set up a terminal adapter data-only station, follow the steps below:

! Use an EIA-232-D cable to connect the SERIAL port on the data terminal to the terminal adapter.

For any data terminal that has both COM1 and COM2 connectors, make sure you use the one designated for data transmission. See the customer’s system manager if you are not sure.

! Make sure that the terminal adapter option settings for parity and speed are compatible with the data terminal. (Speed is synchronized automatically if the factory setting has not been changed.)

If you are not sure about the speed and parity of the data terminal, see the customer’s system manager or the documentation packaged with the terminal adapter and the data terminal.

! Plug the other end of the EIA-232-D cable into PORT 1 on the terminal adapter.
