While pressing the logic unit towards the wall, slide the unit downwards until it clicks into place. -
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 PC104-Key Keyboard On the PC104-key Keyboards the alphanumeric keypad is the main typewriter keypad, while the function key group lies along the top of the keyboard and can be programmed locally or downloaded from the host. The numeric keypad is the calculator-style set of keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard, used to enter numeric data. -
Page 16: 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 17: 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 18: 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 19: 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 20: 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 21: Screen Display And Pages
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. -
Page 22: Viewports
Viewports Up to three viewports can be selected on a page. Each viewport has its own character attribute, cursor position, field attribute propagation, tab stops and scrolling region. All of the viewports are displayed on the same screen and can be partitioned with a visual separator line. If the keyboard is associated with one viewport and the host is associated with another, it is possible to receive data in two viewports simultaneously. -
Page 23: 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. If necessary, you will also be able to configure the Setup menu to suit your requirements and preferences. -
