Changing Ports 1 & 2 Between Host & Terminal

To change a port setup, send special character sequences to the port (or type this sequence in at a

terminal). See DIP SWITCHES for more information. To switch Port 1 to Host protocol:

1. Turn off the switcher and remove the serial control module (504001, 505150)

2. Turn off Dip Switch 5 on the 504001’s S2; turn on Dip Switch 4 on the 505150’s S3.

3. Reinstall the serial board and turn power back on. The serial port now uses the Host protocol.

4. Connect a terminal to the serial port using the serial adaptor and send the following

command:

**HOST1!!

The port now uses the Host protocol.

5. To restore back to the Terminal port, send the following command:

**HOST0!!

6. You are now back to the Terminal protocol.

NOTE: By changing the Dip Switch, the protocol comes up either Host or Terminal depending upon the

switch. On is for Host, Off is for terminal.
