Page 14: Physical Features
Physical Features Power Switch - press the orange button to its recessed position to turn the unit “on.” Press again to turn the unit “off.” Leave the terminal’s power switch (1) in the off position “0" until power and keyboard connections are made The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) recommends that the power outlet be near the terminal and easily accessible at all times. -
Page 15: Keyboards
Keyboards The monochrome terminal supports only the “PC-style” keyboards which include the PC 101/102-key and Compact PC 101-key keyboard. The color terminal supports two styles of keyboards: “PC-style” and “ANSI-style” keyboards. The keyboard layout is divided into functional key groups (as described below). The ANSI - style keyboard differs from the PC-style keyboard mainly in that it features 20 function keys, a set of PF-keys, and a different style numeric keypad. -
Page 16: Display Fields
ANSI Keyboard Display Fields The screen display shown below is a snapshot of the terminal’s screen in an ASCII emulation. The top line of the display is referred to as the Top Status Line. The Top Status Line can be disabled if desired. -
Page 17: Usage Notes
Usage Notes The following notations and symbols are used in this manual: Ctrl-F1: the two keys, Ctrl and F1, are to be pressed simultaneously. Ctrl, F1: the two keys, Ctrl and F1, are to be pressed in succession. 1-num or 1-alph: specifies that the number must be generated either from the numeric or alphanumeric keypads. -
Page 18: Communications
Communications This terminal is equipped with three communications ports. The two serial ports are intended for connection to either a host (or modem), an alternate input device such as a scanner, or a serial printer. (The EIA port has both an RJ45 and a DB25 interface;... -
Page 19: Host/Printer Port 1 (Rj45)
Refer to the Installation chapter for details on the connection of the DB25 EIA port or the RJ45 EIA port to serial devices (hosts, modems, or printers). The optional RS-422 and current loop communications interface is only available for this DB25 EIA port. Host/Printer Port 1 (RJ45) This port, labeled “EIA,”... -
Page 20: Host/Printer Port 2
Host/Printer Port 2 This port, labeled “Aux,” is designed to connect to a second host connection (computer or modem), a scanner or other input device, or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 38,400 baud. This port also uses an RS-232- C interface via an RJ45 female connector and is configured as a DCE device. -
Page 21: Terminal To Modem (Or Dce Host)
Terminal To Modem (or DCE Host) Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the AUX serial port to a modem or a DCE host. The EIA port will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DTE device. -
Page 22: Screen Display And Pages
Screen Display And Pages This terminal offers a variety of screen lengths including 26, 44, or 49 lines. These numbers include the top and bottom status lines (or label line), as well as the lines used to display data. A “page” of terminal memory represents the total number of lines that can be accessed, whether or not they are all viewable on the screen at once. -
Page 23: Visual Effects Of Screen And Page Lengths
Visual Effects Of Screen And Page Lengths The combination of page and screen lengths influence the number of displayable data lines. For example, if the page length is “50" (25 x 2), and the screen length is 44 lines, the number of data lines that are visible at any one time is 43, with no label line. -
Page 24: Installation
chapter Installation This section provides a “walk-through” approach to the installation of your terminal. This will enable you to physically connect the terminal to a printer, one or two host computers/modems, scanner or another input device.
