Page 5: Installation
Installation Device Setup Follow these steps to install the Serial Adapter: 1. I f necessary, boot your ASCII device and configure a serial port to be VT100, 9600-baud rate, no parity, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit. 2. U sing the DB25 cable included, connect the ASCII device serial port to the DB25 connector on the Serial Adapter. 3. Plug the 6VDC power supply into the Serial Adapter. 4. P lug a PS/2 monitor into the miniDIN6 connector and a VGA monitor to the HD15 connector on the Serial Adapter. P lug a Sun keyboard into the miniDIN8 connector and a composite sync Sun monitor into the HD15 connector on the Serial Adapter. You may need to use a VGA-to-13W3 adapter to convert HD15 (M) to 13W3 (F). 5. Y ou will see a login prompt on the monitor. Installing the Serial Adapter with a KVM Switch 1. Connect the KVM cables to the serial device’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports. 2. Connect the serial cable included from the Serial Adapter’s serial port to the ASCII device. 3. Select the channel where the Serial Adapter is connected to access the ASCII device via the KVM switch. -
Page 6: Operating The Serial Adapter
Operating the Serial Adapter This section describes how to access and operate an ACSII-based device with a PS/2 or Sun console (keyboard and monitor) using the Serial Adapter. Status The green LED on the unit shows the status of the Serial Adapter. The LED will appear solid when power is going to the Serial Adapter. When serial data is transmitting, the LED will blink. Screen Layout The Serial Adapter produces 8-colour video at 800x600 resolution, which can accommodate 32 lines of 80 text characters each. A typical ASCII terminal uses 24 lines, so the Serial Adapter uses the eight extra lines to provide system-status and help information. These eight lines are divided so that four are at the top of the screen and four are at the bottom (see Figure 3). Figure 3 Online Session • I n line 1 of the top pane, the Serial Adapter’s firmware version is displayed at the right. • I n line 3 of the top pane, the cursor position and buffer-page number are displayed at the left, and the terminal type and data rate are displayed at the right. • I n line 4 of the top pane, the communication status is displayed. This status can be:... -
Page 7: Online Mode
Operating the Serial Adapter − On Line: The Serial Adapter is communicating with the server and displaying the interactions in its terminal-screen area − Help: If you press [Alt] + [F1], the Help screen will appear − Set Up: If you press [Alt] + [F2] or [Alt] + [F3], the Serial Adapter enters Setup Mode − Buffer Edit: If you press [Alt] + [F4], the Serial Adapter enters Buffer Edit Mode • I n addition, the access type is shown at the right of line 4 of the top pane. The access type can be LOC (the local keyboard/monitor user station is active), RMT (a remote Paragon user station is active), or NO (there is no current user- station activity—the Serial Adapter is idle and will grant keyboard and mouse control to the first user station that attempts to assert it). • T he four lines in the bottom pane display command keys specific to the current screen. Online Mode When you operate the Serial Adapter in Online Mode (see Figure 3), the main screen area displays your interactions with the ASCII device, as if it were the screen of an ASCII terminal. Simultaneously, the data stream being output by the device is stored in an 8-page circular buffer, so you cannot only access and operate the device, but you can also review its historical data as needed. Because the buffer is circular, it always retains the most recent eight pages of data from the device; the newest data will overwrite the oldest data. - Page 8 Operating the Serial Adapter • < Ctrl-Break>: Reset the serial communication with the computer and reset the Serial Adapter • < Ctrl-S>: Stop computer from sending any data—all output data will be queued in the computer • <Ctrl-Q>: Resume computer to send data • <Alt-F1>: Display Help Menu screen (see Figure 4) • <Alt-F3>: Set up programmable keys • <Alt-F4>: Review/edit buffer Figure 4 Help Menu Screen...

Page 9: Buffer Edit Mode
Operating the Serial Adapter Buffer Edit Mode The Serial Adapter stores the most recent eight pages of data from the attached ASCII device in a circular buffer. You can edit the data in the buffer (see Figure 5). Figure 5 Buffer Edit Mode After you switch the Serial Adapter from Online Mode to Buffer Edit Mode by pressing [Alt] + [F4], you can review the contents of the buffer by moving the cursor with the arrow keys—[PageUp], [PageDown], [Home], and [End]. You can also edit the data in the buffer with [Insert], [Delete], [Backspace], and the other keys listed in the Help screen. -
Page 10: Setup Operation
Operating the Serial Adapter Setup Operation Pressing the [Alt-F2] key will enable you to set up the serial-communication parameters and the selection of video output (see Figure 6). You can change the serial-communication baud rate and transmission format to meet your device needs. Figure 6 Set Up Communication Also, this function allows you to optionally use a VGA monitor in conjunction with a Sun keyboard, which typically requires a Sun composite sync monitor. To select a VGA video output with a Sun keyboard, you should use a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor to access the Serial Adapter. Press [Alt-A2] to get into the Setup screen and change the video option for Sun keyboard to VGA. Then, you can replace the PS/2 keyboard with a Sun keyboard. - Page 11 Operating the Serial Adapter Pressing [Alt-F3] will enable you to program the 12 function keys (see Figure 7). Programmable keys allow you to store frequently used data streams or commands, and send them to the devices during Online Mode by simply pressing a preprogrammed function key. Figure 7 Set Up Programmable Keys Note: At this time, the port labeled “Diagnose” does not have a function. This port will be used for compatibility with future Belkin parts.

FAQs 1. If you do not get a device prompt: - I f the Serial Adapter’s screen is displayed on your monitor with the top and bottom Help windows, make sure that it indicates online status. If not, press [Esc] to return to Online Mode. - M ake sure that the Serial Adapter and the attached device are both receiving power. The Serial Adapter’s power supply should be securely connected to both the Serial Adapter and a working outlet. Its LED (next to the 6-pin miniDIN PS/2 mouse connector) should flicker quickly if data is being transmitted or blink once per second at other times. - M ake sure that the cable between the Serial Adapter and the device is securely attached at both ends. This must be the null-modem cable included with the Serial Adapter or one just like it. - M ake sure that the serial-communication settings of the Serial Adapter match those of the device. Press [Alt] + [F2] to check the Serial Adapter’s settings in its Setup screen. 2. If you do not get any video or the video is degraded or distorted: - M ake sure that all of your cables are connected securely. -
