Connecting Additional Terminals - DEC MicroVAX 3100 Owner's Manual

Install any expansion boxes before you install your software. See Chapter 4
for additional information.
To install the VMS or ULTRIX operating system software on a MicroVAX
3100 or VAXserver 3100 system, follow the operating system software
installation instructions that are shipped with the software. During
software installation, the operating system software is transferred from
the installation media (tape or compact disc) to a hard disk in the system
or to an expansion box connected to your system.
If your MicroVAX 3100 or VAXserver 3100 is network connected, you may
be accessing the operating system from a VAXserver. For information about
accessing the VMS or ULTRIX operating system software on your server,
see your operating system documentation.
2.9 Connecting Additional Terminals
Three additional terminals can be connected to the system unit. These
terminals are connected to MMJ ports 2 and 3, and to the modem port.
A H8571-A adapter is required to convert the modem port 25-pin D-sub
connector to an MMJ connector before a terminal can be connected.
Figure 2-10 shows the ports to which these terminals are connected and
the H8571-A adapter.
CAUTION:
If you use an adapter to convert the MODEM port to an MMJ
terminal port, the recommended maximum cable length is 50 ft.
