Attaching peripherals to the TC32 terminal controller
Figure 12: TC32 terminal controller (CT50) - (optional) -
The EISA TC32 terminal controller (CT50) allows you to directly attach up to 32
asynchronous terminals, printers or modems. Connections are made via connector
boxes, each of which has sixteen RJ45 connectors for attaching peripheral devices.
Each channel can provide a maximum transmission speed of 38.4 kbit/s.
Also refer to the Technical Manual "Terminal Controller 32 Ports EISA - CT50".
Adjusting printer settings
When you attach printers, you need to adjust the printer settings. Your printer
operating manual will tell you how to change the settings on your printer.
The default settings are:
Baud rate:
Parity:
Data bits:
Stop bits:
If your settings differ from these defaults, you must also adjust the associated
interface in the operating system to match the modified values.
The highest permissible line speed for V.24 ports is 38,400 baud. The highest
permissible speed for your printer will be specified in the accompanying operating
manual. You can use the following values as a rough guide:
speed 9,600 Bd:
speed 19,200 Bd:
speed 38,400 Bd:
