  • Page 28: Communications

    Communications Communications This terminal is equipped with three ports. The two serial ports are intended for connecting to either a host/modem or a serial printer. The remaining port is a Centronics-compatible printer port. The port you use as the printer port depends on whether you have a serial or a parallel interface to the printer.

  • Page 29: Transmit Flow Control

    10 Introduction If the “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” is “No Protocol” in Setup, the terminal will continue to accept characters into its receive buffer until it is full. Additional characters will be lost. Xon-Xoff protocol must also be set on the host computer or printer for proper handshaking.

  • Page 30: Host/Printer Port 1

    Communications For parallel printers, this terminal monitors the BUSY and ERROR signals which are sent by the printer to determine when data transmission should be stopped or resumed. Host/Printer Port 1 This port, labeled “SES1-EIA,” is designed for connection to the host (computer or modem) or a serial printer via a 25-pin D-shell (DB25P) female connector.
  • Page 31 12 Introduction Host/Printer Port 2 Pin Assignments Refer to the Installation chapter for details on the connection of all ports to serial devices (hosts, modems, or printers).

  • Page 32: Parallel Printer Port

    Parallel Printer Port This port, labeled “PAR,” is designed for connection to a parallel printer, which has a Centronics interface with a 25-pin D-shell female connector. This port, unlike the others, is a uni- directional device —it only serves to output data to the printer and cannot receive data.

    14 Introduction Terminal to Modem (DCE) or Host Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the second serial port (SES2-AUX) to a modem or a DCE host. The first serial port will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DTE device.
