Connecting the COM Port to an Asynchronous Terminal
The FrameSaver unit must first be directly connected to a VT100-compatible
asynchronous terminal or a PC providing VT100 terminal emulation to set up
access and management of the unit.
1. Configure the terminal or PC to be compatible with the FrameSaver unit:
– COM Port in use by your PC: COM1 or COM2.
– COM Port Baud Rate is set to 19.2 kbps.
– Character length is set to 8 data bits.
– Parity is set to none.
– Stop bit is set to 1.
– Flow Control is set to None.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the FrameSaver unit's COM port.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the terminal or PC.
4. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector to secure them.
5. Press Enter on the keyboard (or Return, depending upon your keyboard) to display
the Main Menu.
Verification Check:
-
Did the Main Menu appear on the asynchronous terminal?
– If so, continue with the installation.
– If not, recheck terminal and FrameSaver unit compatibility (see settings in
Step 1), or press the Enter key.
Refer to Troubleshooting in the User's Guide for other possible explanations.
