Port Assignments - Tektronix 8001A Installation Manual

RS-232-C Ports
PORT ASSIGNMENTS
Each
1/0
port has a specific software device assignment. Each
1/0
port also connects to a
peripheral device by a specific jack on the rear panel of the µProcessor Lab. You can say
that each jack is assigned to a specific software device.
The system console connects to jack J 100. Any terminal-like device may be used as the
system console if it has a keyboard, a display and an RS-232-C communications port. Two
Tektronix terminals are available as options: the CT 8100 CRT Terminal and the CT 8101
Printing Terminal. The console terminal port originates from the System Processor module.
Jack J 101 is usually connected to a communications modem. This allows the µProcessor
Lab to serve as a remote terminal communicating with another computer system.
Jack J 102 is used to connect a I ine printer to the µProcessor Lab. The software does not
accept any input from J 102. This jack provides output service only to a line printer type
device. The TEKTRONIX Line Printer LP8200 is available as an option.
Jack J 103 is the paper tape reader/punch connection. The Remex RAR 8050 is recommended
for use with the system.
Communications, Line Printer, and Paper Tape Reader/Punch ports originate from the
System Communications module.
The software device names are an indication of the intended use for each jack. The software
device names and their jack assignments are shown in Table
2-i.
