Connecting The Console Terminal To The System Unit; Connecting A Terminal - Digital Equipment DECsystem 5100 Installation Manual

2.4 Connecting the Console Terminal to the System Unit
Note Make sure that the on
I
off switch on the terminal is in the off (0) position.
The terminal must be set at 9600 baud, with 8 bits, and no parity. On most
terminals, this is the default setting. See your terminal documentation if you
need information on setting up your terminal.
Note If you connect the terminal cable to one of the MMJ ports on the back of
a VT3xx terminal, you must set the port for DEC-423 operation. See your
terminal documentation for details.
Connect the terminal cable supplied with the system (see Figure 1-1) to MMJ
port 3 on the back of the system unit. See Figure 2-4. Connect the other end
of the console cable to the communications port on the terminal.
Note Some terminal cables have grounding straps. You must connect this grounding
strap to the grounding stud closest to MMJ port 3.
