Installing the Terminal
Getting Ready
You'll need a shielded serial interface cable (fitted with a male 25-pin connector
on the terminal end) to connect the terminal to your computer or modem. If you
plan to connect a serial printer directly to the terminal, you'll need a second
serial cable. (See Appendix B for connector pin assignments.)
Place the terminal on a flat, hard surface, allowing three inches on all sides for
ventilation.
Connecting the Terminal
1 Press the front half of the power switch on the right side of the terminal to be
sure that the terminal is turned off.
2 Plug the keyboard cable into the keyboard socket on the left side of the terminal.
3 Thread the serial cable(s) through the cable guide at the back of the terminal
base, as shown in the illustration.
4 Connect the computer cable to the MODEM port and the printer cable to the
AUX port.
5 Plug the power cord into the terminal's power connector and into a
three-pronged grounded power outlet. (If you use an adapter, be sure to
ground the outlet.)
•
Note Make sure your building's voltage (115 in the U.S.) matches the
voltage shown on the back of the terminal.
