Page 8: Introduction
SHM-B Parallel-R SHM-B Parallel-T (ME807A) (ME806A) • The SHM-B Parallel-T accepts parallel data from the PC, converts it to serial data, and sends the serial data over twisted-pair cable to the SHM-B. The SHM- B receives the serial data, converts it to RS-232 specifications, and sends the data to the RS-232 serial printer. - Page 9 SHM-B PARALLEL-T, SHM-B PARALLEL -R The SHM-B Parallel performs data transmission at bit rates from 1200 to 19,200 baud. It can be configured for either 7- or 8-bit word length and Even, Odd, or No parity. The SHM-B Parallel features advanced optically-isolated integrated circuitry, which eliminates damaging ground-loop currents and substantially reduces signal noise for improved data integrity.

CHAPTER 3: Installation 3. Installation 3.1 Standalone and Rackmount Versions The SHM-B Parallel is available in a standalone version and a rackmount version. The standalone transmitter and receiver are packaged in small, lightweight ABS plastic cases and equipped with wallmount transformers, for use on a desktop or shelf. - Page 11 SHM-B PARALLEL-T, SHM-B PARALLEL -R Remove the SHM-B card from the case or rack, exposing the terminal connector on the card. (For instructions on opening the standalone unit’s case, see step 2 in Section 3.6.) Strip ⁄ ⁄ inch of the insulation from the end of all four of the cable wires.

Parallel-to-Serial Installation NOTE When operating serial to parallel or parallel to serial, the serial device has to run hardware flow control. Software flow control (X-ON/X-OFF, etc.) is not supported. 2. Test the Cabling To test the 4-wire cable and connections, remove the cable connecting the PC to the transmitter.

SHM-B PARALLEL-T, SHM-B PARALLEL -R In the idle condition, the TD and the RD LEDs will light green. When transmitting, they will light green and red. When the printer cannot accept any more data, the Busy LED on the transmitter and on the receiver will light red and the data transmission will stop. - Page 16 CHAPTER 3: Installation installed. To remove the faceplate and expose the card, apply pressure at the top front of the unit to separate the top and the bottom halves of the case, then push on the rear connector to force out the front panel and printed circuit assembly.

SHM-B PARALLEL-T, SHM-B PARALLEL -R 4. Troubleshooting Before installing the SHM-B Parallel, verify that the source of the parallel data works correctly with the destination equipment when no modem link is installed. This isn’t always possible, but be certain that all equipment is plugged-in and powered on, and that all cables are securely connected. - Page 18 © Copyright 2001. Black Box Corporation.
