Connecting a PC

Instead of a terminal, you can connect a PC to configure the multiplexer(s) to communicate with
the 719 NETWORKER. However, a terminal emulator must be run on the PC so that the PC can
be used as an ASCII terminal. Two emulator programs are suggested: a VT-100 terminal emulator
(the other selection under the SCX menu) and CTRM.
Make sure the following parameters are set on the PC:
You need an EIA RS-232 (DB-25) cable to connect the PC to the multiplexer(s).
To connect a PC to the multiplexer, perform the following steps:
1. Connect one end of the cable to the serial port on the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the control port on the multiplexer.
3. Turn on the PC and invoke the terminal emulator program.
4. Turn on the multiplexer.
