8 Introduction 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. Another factor affecting your port selection is your choice of connecting the terminal to one or two host computers.
Communications 9 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.
10 Introduction Host/Printer Port 1 Pin Assignments Host/Printer Port 2 This port, labeled “SES2-AUX,” is designed to connect to a second host connection (computer or modem) or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 38,400 baud. This port uses an RS-232-C interface via a DB25P female connector, and is configured as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device.
Communications 11 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 uni-directional 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.
12 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 host will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DTE device.
Screen Display and Pages 13 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.
14 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 visible in 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 15 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.
16 Introduction 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 one or two host computer(s)/modem(s), 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 – No Printer Option 19 STEP 5 – No Printer Option If you did not opt to install a printer (did not complete E, F, G, or H), you must set the Printer portion of the Host/Printer selection in the Quick (F1) Setup menu to “None.” Choose the combination of Host/Printer that properly represents which terminal port you are connecting the host to, and “None” as the printer. For example, if the EIA port is connected to the host or modem, the setting would be “EIA/None.
20 Installation Connection A: Host DCE 1. 2. 3. Enter the Setup menu. If the EIA port is to be assigned to Session 2, then switch sessions (Ctrl-Enter (num)). Remain in session 1, if it is to be assigned to t hat session. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Host portion of the “Host/Printer” selection to “EIA” without changing the current Printer option (“EIA/xxxx”). The Printer will be set in another connection procedure if needed.
STEP 8 – Emulation Setup Selection 21 Connection E: Printer 1. 2. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Printer portion of the “Host/Printer” selection to “EIA” without changing the current Host option (“xxxx/EIA”). The Host will be set in another connection procedure if needed. Follow procedure of Connection A, step 3. Connection F: RS-232-C Printer 1. 2.
22 Installation STEP 9 – Additional Setup Options At this point, you should proceed to the Setup chapter and continue to set up your own selections for any other parameters such as those for the display, keyboard, function/edit keys, and tabs. Remember to repeat this procedure for Session 2 if you are running in dual session mode. Use Ctrl-Enter (num) to access this set of parameters.

36 Setup Session Display: [Full, Split] When two sessions are used, select whether each host’s data displays on a full screen or if both hosts share a split screen. In either case, the way to toggle between the hosts is by using Ctrl-Enter (num). Both hosts can receive and update data simultaneously. The purpose of toggling is so that keyboard entry can be directed to the selected host. In the case of a full display, toggling also brings the entire display of the selected host into view.
DISPLAY: F3 37 Columns: [80, 132, 80-Only] Choose the number of columns that the screen can display. 80-Only provides more pages in memory for a given page length by disallowing changes to 132-column display. Width Change Clear: [On, Off] Select whether the screen is to be cleared when the number of columns on the screen is changed from 80 to 132 or vice versa. Changing columns from/to 80-only forces the screen to clear independent of Width Change Clear.
38 Setup Overscan Borders: [On, Off] Choose whether the overscan borders are active. The borders extend video from one edge of the screen to the next. (To see the borders, select reverse for Screen Video.) KEYBOARD: F4 Language: [U.S. , U.K., Danish, Finnish, French, German, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, Belgian-Flemish, Fr-Canadian, Italian, Latin American, Swiss-French, Swiss-German, Turkish] Select the language type which matches your keyboard’s layout.
