Communications 9 Communications This terminal is equipped with three ports. The two serial ports are intended for connecting to either a host/modem or a serial printer. The remaining port is a Centronics-compatible printer port. The port you use as the printer port depends on whether you have a serial or a parallel interface to the printer. The first host/printer serial port (SES1-EIA) can communicate with your computer or printer at a baud rate of 110 to 134,400 baud (bits per second).
10 Introduction If the “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” is “No Protocol” in Setup, the terminal will continue to accept characters into its receive buffer until it is full. Additional characters will be lost. Xon-Xoff protocol must also be set on the host computer or printer for proper handshaking. In addition to software “receive” flow control (Xon-Xoff), the serial host/printer ports support “receive” hardware flow control. The SES1-EIA port has an outgoing DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal.
Communications 11 For parallel printers, this terminal monitors the BUSY and ERROR signals which are sent by the printer to determine when data transmission should be stopped or resumed. Host/Printer Port 1 This port, labeled “SES1-EIA,” is designed for connection to the host (computer or modem) or a serial printer via a 25-pin D-shell (DB25P) female connector.
12 Introduction Host/Printer Port 2 Pin Assignments Refer to the Installation chapter for details on the connection of all ports to serial devices (hosts, modems, or printers).
Communications 13 Parallel Printer Port This port, labeled “PAR,” is designed for connection to a parallel printer, which has a Centronics interface with a 25-pin D-shell female connector. This port, unlike the others, is a unidirectional device —it only serves to output data to the printer and cannot receive data. The pins and signals supported are shown below: Parallel Port Pin Assignments * These signals are held high, in an inactive state.
14 Introduction Terminal to Modem (DCE) or Host Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the second serial port (SES2-AUX) to a modem or a DCE host. The first serial port will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DTEdevice.
Screen Display and Pages 15 Screen Display and Pages This terminal offers a variety of screen lengths including 26, 30, 44, or 52 lines. These numbers include the top and bottom status lines (or label line), as well as the lines used to display data. A “page” of terminal memory represents the total number of lines that can be accessed, whether or not they are all viewable on the screen at once. Refer to Appendix A for the number and lengths of pages available for your setup.
16 Introduction The figure below represents the entire page memory of a 48 line page (24 base page length times a multiplier of 2) and the portion of the page that is viewable on the display screen, when “26 Lines” is selected. Notice that the label line is visiblein this mode. Visual Effects of Screen and Page Lengths The combination of page and screen lengths influence the number of displayable data lines.
Screen Display and Pages 17 row, the bottom row of text is lost (if Auto Scroll is “on” in Setup). Note that text scrolled off the screen is not recoverable.
18 Introduction If the current page or portion of the page is longer than the screen display or window in which it is displayed, local keystrokes can be used to “pan” the window up or down (Ctrl-↑ and Ctrl-↓). As a window is panned up, the page appears to be moving down; the opposite is true when panning the window down. Text that is panned off the screen is out of view, but is not lost.
Screen Display and Pages 19 This page is intentionally left blank.
chapter 2 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 a host computer/modem, 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.
18 Installation 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, 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.
STEP 5 – Communications Setup Selections 19 STEP 5 – Communications Setup Selections To complete this step, you must recall the letters next to the connections that you made in Step 2. The procedures below correspond directly to the individual connections made. Notice that only certain connection procedures are to be followed, not all of them. For example, if you have made connections “C” and “F” to a modem and a serial printer, then follow connection procedures “C” and “F” below.
20 Installation Check, Aux Recv, and Aux Xmt. See the Setup chapter for more information on the individual settings. Connection C: RS-232 with Modem 1. Follow all procedures of Connection A, steps 1 through 3. 2. If you are connecting to a modem, set the “EIA Modem Control” parameter to “On” in the Ports (F6) menu. Connection D: RS-232-C with Modem 1. Follow all procedures of Connection B, steps 1 through 3. 2.
STEP 8 – Emulation Setup Selection 21 STEP 8 – Emulation Setup Selection This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the “Emulation” of the terminal. Determine which emulation your applications run with. Enter the Setup menu and set the “Emulation” parameter, in the Quick (F1) menu, to match your requirements.
