DX-80 INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
P7290 IMM 4-12
F10 – RS232C
F10-RS232C is the utility to setup the PC COM port. To successfully setup the PC COM port you must
know how the PC hardware is configured. In this utility you must select the COM Port number (PC-DBA
supports COM 1 or 2 only) and the baud rate that will be used for the connection. At default PC-DBA is
setup to use COM Port 1 at 9600 bps. (9600 bps matches the default baud rate set for the DX-80 CPM –
PC-DBA Port.)
While using a modem connection, it is best to set the COM port baud rate at 2400 bps since this is the
speed of the DX-80 Optional Modem. (Setting this speed can expedite the modem negotiation process
since compression link choices will not be attempted.)
Maintenance Utilities
Once the F5-Cnt operation is successfully completed and a link between the PC-DBA and DX-80
processors is established, the Maintenance Utilities can be used. (If this is not established, refer to the text
above and connect the two devices.)
The PC-DBA Maintenance screen appears as follows. Notice that successful connection to the DX-80
system processor CPM is indicated by the “
[Cnt]” in upper left corner.
