Example 3:
Set-up the
RS-232
Note
52 Programming the Enhanced Monitor
The following example program demonstrates how to set-up the RS-232 Port on the
Enhanced Monitor. In this setup, the Enhanced Monitor is set to its default values
which are suitable for use with a dumb terminal. The baud rate is changed to 19200
baud.
If you use the Enhanced Monitor RS-232 port (located on the back of the
mainframe) while the mainframe is in the standby mode, you must supply an
external +5Vdc to the +5VEXT connector (located near the RS-232 port). If you
use the RS-232 port while the mainframe is powered on, you do not need to provide
the external +5Vdc.
