Connecting Peripherals to a DHW42-CA Option
If the system has the DHW42-CA asynchronous communications option
installed, the system has two four-line asynchronous ports with modem control.
You can connect up to four peripherals to each of these ports using the breakout
cable (BC29J-06) supplied with the option. Section 4.1 gives more information
on the DHW42-CA asynchronous communications option.
To connect a peripheral to an asynchronous port, follow these steps:
1. Set the on/off switch on the peripheral to the off (O) position.
2. Hold in the connector clips on either side of the 50-pin connector of the
breakout cable and connect it to one of the asynchronous ports on the back
of the system unit (see Figure 4–7).
3. Release the clips. The hooks on the port secure the connector in place.
4. Connect one of the four EIA-232 connectors on the breakout cable to the
peripheral.
5. Set the on/off switch on the peripheral to the on (|) position.
