Setting the Terminal’s Baud Rate and Parameters
AMOS initially assumes the operator terminal is an Alpha Micro or compatible terminal
using RS232 signals. It also assumes the terminal is working at 19200 baud. (The "baud
rate" is the rate at which the terminal and computer transfer information between
themselves; if the terminal is not set at the baud rate the operating system thinks it
should be using, the text displayed on the terminal is not legible.) AMOS also assumes
the following terminal parameters:
Data Word Length: Eight data bits
Parity: No parity
Stop Bit (110 baud): Two stop bits
Stop Bit (other than 110 baud): One stop bit
Refer to the documentation accompanying your terminal for information on setting its
baud rate and the parameters listed above.
Once the computer is booted with a compatible terminal, you can define your own type
of terminal and tell the computer to use that terminal from now on. For more information
on defining your own terminal, refer to the
System Operator’s Guide .
Connecting the Cable
Note: Refer to the FCC warning concerning electromagnetic interference at the front of
this manual. The terminal cables you use must be shielded to minimize such
interference. Also, see the section "Power and Cable Connections" elsewhere in this
chapter.
Make sure you have appropriate cables for connecting the terminal to the computer.
See Appendix A in this manual for cable guidelines. If you do not have the proper
cables, please contact your VAR.
Plug one end of the finished cable into the proper connector on the back of the terminal
and the other end into the appropriate connector on the back of the CPU chassis. Alpha
Micro cables are labeled at each end to indicate which end plugs into the CPU, and
which end goes to the terminal.
