7.3 RS232 REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS

All RS232 connections are made at the rear panel of the unit. Figure 7-8 shows the rear panel
of the unit. A single terminal is connected to the connector labeled "RS232". If units are
chained, the AUX connector is also used. The POWER and LINE/TIMS connections are
described in Sections 1 and 2.
7.3.1 Printer Cable (48-0084) Connection: A terminal or computer can be connected to the
AM8a by means of a printer cable (P/N 48-0084) illustrated in Figure 7-9. This cable
is specifically designed for use with an optional printer/terminal (P/N 24-0016) which
is a 300 baud thermal printer. The cable may be used, however, with any external
device which has the proper connector.
Another cable (not illustrated) which may be used is the Universal Printer Cable (P/N
48-0012). This cable brings out pin 2 (Transmit to terminal) to a Red wire, pin 3
(Receive from terminal) to a Green wire, and signal-ground to a Black wire.
The 25-pin female connector on the cable is plugged into the RS232 connector on the
rear panel of the unit.
If units are chained, the printer cable is connected to the first ("A") unit in the chain.
The baud rate, parity, and CR delay for the RS232 port must be set to match the
terminal's characteristics through the CONFIG'N SETUP menu.
CAUTION: Do not exceed 2400 baud rate when units are chained.
