13.4 Connecting and Using an Alternate Terminal
13.4 Connecting and Using an Alternate Terminal
Your system has the ability to display console and diagnostic messages, either
on the graphics monitor, or on a VT320 terminal connected to the RS232 port
located in the rear of the unit. At power-up, the system looks for a keyboard
plugged into the SERIAL.bus. If one is found, the system will route all the
console messages to the graphics monitor. If, however, no keyboard is detected
on the SERIAL.bus, all text will be sent directly to the RS232 port.
Connect your terminal to the 25 pin RS232 connector, and set your terminal
as described in Table 13–3. You may notice that these settings are the
standard default settings for Digital terminals. Some terminals may use the
modular MMJ telephone style connectors. If this is the case, an adapter (Part
#H8571-A) can be used to make the connection.
