TEK-CPCI-1000 Technical Reference Manual
VT100 Full Setup
VT100 Partial Setup
16.3 RUNNING WITHOUT A TERMINAL
The board can boot up without a screen or terminal attached. However, if VT100 Mode is
desired, but the terminal is to be disconnected, you must ensure the control lines are in an
active state. Failing this, the system may "hang" while waiting for the control lines to become
active. Wiring the system according to VT100 Partial Setup allows the lines to remain active.
This does not apply if the VT100 jumper is not set.
Furthermore, you can run without any console at all by simply not enabling VT100 Mode and
by not installing a video card.
