VT100 MODE
16.1 VT100 REQUIREMENTS
To use VT100 Mode, the board must be supplied with ±12 volts. This is the voltage required
by the RS-232 drivers.
The terminal you are using should emulate a VT100 or ANSI terminal. Although this is not
an absolute requirement, strange characters may appear on screen if it does not. This occurs
because the VT100 recognizes these control characters, and causes them to perform a specific
function, for example, screen erase, cursor position, and so on.
16.2 VT100 SETUP & CONFIGURATION
Follow these steps to set up the VT100 mode:
1. Power off your board and install jumper W4 (3-4) to enable VT100 Mode.
Note: VT100 Mode runs on Serial Port1 and Serial Port2.
2. Connect the communications cable according to the VT100 Full Setup diagram.
Note: A partial cable using only the TXD and RXD lines may be used by looping back
the control lines as described in the VT100 Partial Setup diagram.
3. Power on your board and run VIP-UP Setup by hitting the CTRL and V keys
simultaneously, before or when the message "Press CTRL-V to enter TEKNOR VIP-
UP" appears.
At the VIP-UP screen, set the "VT100 & Serial Download Speed" at 19200bps or
9600bps.
4. You must respect this protocol:
If you are running a terminal emulation program, these parameters must be set in it.
