System Console (Terminal) Installation
Except for the cabling information given in this section and in Figure 2-12, refer to the
documentation supplied with your terminal for all other installation information. For information
on configuring the console interface as the Virtual Control Panel (VCP) interface, refer to the
Virtual Control Panel Configuration section in this chapter.
Use one of the following interfaces for your system console:
HP 12005B Asynchronous Serial Interface (ASIC) Card
HP 12040C/D Multiplexer Interface (MUX) Card
Use the following procedure to connect your terminal to the interface card:
1.
Set the system power switch to OFF and, if battery backup is installed, set the Battery
Enable switch to DISABLE.
2.
Remove the computer card cage rear cover.
3.
If you connect the terminal with an electrical cable (instead of a fiber optic cable), connect
the cable's hooded connector to the interface card, with the cable extending down. Connect
the ground lug from the hooded connector to the computer chassis.
4.
If you connect the terminal with a fiber optic cable (to the HP 12005B ASIC card only),
connect the gray connector on the cable to the gray transmitter on the interface card and the
blue connector on the cable to the blue receiver on the interface card.
If an HP 12040 MUX is used as the VCP interface, the VCP terminal must be connected to
Port 0 of the MUX.
If your terminal is connected to an ASIC card or to revision C of the HP 12040 MUX card, you
must configure the terminal for 9600 baud rate.
If you are using revision D of the HP 12040 MUX card, the computer is automatically configured
to operate at the baud rate of your HP terminal. You must have your terminal configured for the
ENQ/ACK protocol and 8 data bits with no parity or 7 data bits with O's parity. Baud rates 300,
1200,2400,4800,9600, and 19.2k are supported for terminals connected to an HP 12040 MUX.
You may also use one of the following I/O interfaces as your VCP interface for remote VCP
download and boot capabilities:
HP 12076A LAN/IODO Link Interface Card
:HP 12007B or HP 12044A HDLC Interface Card
If you want to use the LAN card as your VCP interface, refer to the RTE-A System Generation
and Installation Manual, part number 92077-90034, for information on remote VCP.
If you want to use an HDLC card as your VCP interface, your remote system must be running
either NS-ARPAl1000 or DS/1000-IV software. If your remote system is running NS-ARPAl1000,
refer to the NS-ARPA/lOOO Generation and Initialization Manual, part number 91790-90030, for
information on remote VCP. If your remote system is running DS/1000-IV software, refer to the
DS/1000-WTheory o/Operation and Troubleshooting Manual, part number 91750-90014, for
information on remote VCP.
