3.2.1.1 Without Modem Support
Before using any peripheral device connected to a serial communications
controller, check the following:
•
Make sure the peripheral device is properly connected to the system.
•
Make sure the peripheral device is properly installed, plugged into an
appropriate power source, and turned on.
•
Make sure the peripheral device is properly set up.
Set-up involves
choosing how the device operates. Some set-up choices are matters of
personal choice; for example, the number of columns that display on a
terminal screen. Others, like baud rate (a measure of the speed at which
data is transmitted over a data line), must match the system setting if the
peripheral device and system are to communicate.
You choose set-up options from a series of menus that display when you
press the
Set-Up
key on the terminal keyboard. Set-up instructions for
terminals vary according to model, or, in some cases, according to which
read-only memory (ROM) cartridge is installed in your terminal. Be sure
to read the documentation provided with your terminal.
While most default settings are acceptable, you should perform the set-up
procedure for your terminal to ensure appropriate set-up values.
