Rs-232 Terminal Setup - Alpha Technologies CFR 600 Operator's Manual

5.13 RS-232 Terminal Setup

Terminal Emulation Setup
If you are using a terminal emulation software (such as PROCOMM) to
communicate with the CFR, use the following setup:
Emulation Type:
Duplex Mode:
Xon/Xoff Flow Control:
RTS/CTS Flow Control:
Line Wrap:
Screen Scroll:
CR Translation:
Back-Space:
Break Length:
Inquiry:
NOTE 1: Back-Space and Delete characters are ignored by the CFR. To
correct a miss-typed command, you should press Enter and type the
command again.
RS-232 Cable Diagrams
The RS-232 port on the CFR follows the Data Communication
Equipment (DCE) pinout. To connect this port to a terminal or a host
computer (which uses a DTE pinout) you need a standard off-the-shelf
(straight through) RS-232 cable. Depending on your computer, you need a
" 9 to 9 serial cable " or a " 9 to 25 serial cable ". However, if you decide to
make you own cable, see Figure 12. This Figure shows the cable that works
with both SID and IID. If your CFR has a SID interface, then you do not
have to wire up the RTS and CTS signals.
