3.For printers, make sure the correct ends of the cable are attached to the
computer and the printer—cable ends are usually not interchangeable for
printers.
4.If there is a problem with the terminal cables, correct the problem and reset
the computer. If it comes up normally and the terminals seem to work all
right, your problem is fixed.
D.Disconnect all terminals except the terminal you are testing.
E.Reset the computer. If it comes up normally, and there is no problem with the
terminal, you know one of the other terminals may be the problem.
F.Connect another terminal and go to Step D again. Repeat until you find the
problem terminal.
G.Check the terminal option settings against the terminal manufacturer’s manual.
Check for:
1.Correct baud rate. Note: Your computer as shipped from Alpha Micro
assumes the terminal it boots on is set for 19200 baud.
2.Set for full duplex (not half duplex) operation.
3.Set for remote (not local) operation.
4.Set for a data word length of 8 data bits.
5.Set for no parity.
6.Set for 2 stop bits if the terminal works at 110 baud; 1 stop bit if it works at
any other baud rate.
7.Set for conversational (not block) mode.
8.For a printer, make sure it is on-line.
If the option settings are wrong, correct them and reset the computer. If it is up
and running and the terminal works all right, your problem is fixed.
H.If you have a known good terminal similar enough to the problem terminal to work
in its place, substitute it for the questionable one and reset the computer.
If the computer is up and running and the terminal works all right, you know the
problem lies with the terminal, not the terminal cable. Put the original terminal
back on and proceed to Step J.
If the problem is still there with the new terminal, put the original terminal back on
and reset the computer. Continue with Step I.
