Serial Port Connection and Set-Up
The AA-3102RS controller can be configured via a PC running a VT-
100 terminal emulation program, or a VT-100 compatible terminal.
The provided interface cable converts the RS-232 signal of the 10-pin
header connector on the controller into a 9-pin D-Sub male connector.
The pin layout of the 9-pin D-Sub male connector is similar to that of a
PC's serial port and is set as a DTE device. The proper connection of
the cable and pin layout is shown below.
The following are guidelines on using the serial port:
The serial port's default is set at 9,600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit and
no parity. Use the COM1 serial port of the controller.
In most cases, connecting RD, TD and SG are enough to
establish communication with a terminal.
If you are using a PC as a terminal, any of the VT-100 terminal
emulation software will suffice. Microsoft Windows includes a
terminal emulation program as presented with the "Terminal" icon
in the Accessories window.
