Flowchart 5: Maintenance Terminal Problems
Refer to the Maintenance Terminal Troubleshooting
Procedures in the SX-200 EL/ML Technical Documentation
for further possible corrective actions.
Ensure that the terminal parameters are set
correctly. They are:
VT100 / 8 Bits / No Parity / One Stop Bit
ASCII character set
Xon/Xoff flow control
300-38, 400 baud
Pin 4 & Pin 7 high
Try a selection of baud rates from 300-38,400 and press
Esc-6 after each change.
Hint: If communication was lost during a session, the system
considers the terminal logged-in and will only respond at the
current logged-in speed. Try setting to the same speed and
press Esc-6 (quit) (or Esc-5 from Maintenance application).
If communication was never established, the system should
respond at any speed.
