  • Page 16: Understanding Communications

    Understanding Communications This terminal is equipped with three ports. The two serial ports are intended for connecting to a host, a 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. Also, if you use the parallel port for a printer (or don’t connect to a printer), you can use the serial ports to connect to two host computers.
  • Page 17: Host/Printer Port 2

    Host/Printer Port 2 This port, labeled “SES2-AUX,” is designed to connect to a host connection (computer or modem) or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 38,400 baud. This port uses an RS-232-C interface via a DB25P female connector, and is configured as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device. The following illustration shows the pins assignments: Host/Printer Port 2 Pin Assignments Note:...
  • Page 18: Terminal To Modem (Dce) Or Host

    Terminal to Modem (DCE) or Host Refer to the diagram below to understand why you may need a null modem adapter when connecting the second serial port (SES2-AUX) to a modem or a DCE host. The first host connects directly without a null modem since it is a DTE device. Terminal to Host (DTE) or Printer Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the first serial port (SES1-EIA) to a host port without a modem (most serial printers are DTE devices and most hosts are not).
  • Page 19: Understanding Screen Display And Pages

    Understanding Screen Display and Pages This terminal offers a variety of screen lengths, including 26, 30, 44, or 52 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.

    Chapter 2 Installing This chapter provides a walk-through approach to the installation of your terminal. This approach enables you to physically connect the terminal to a printer and a host computer or modem, as well as to configure the Setup menu to suit your requirements and preferences. The terminal offers considerable flexibility.
