Installation
This chapter describes the equipment required for installing the 8400B Plus
Data Module, and outlines procedures for preparing it for operation. If you are
using the 8400B Plus Data Module with a PC, you will be ready to use a PC
communications package after reading this chapter. If you are using the 8400B
Plus Data Module with a terminal, printer, or host, or you want to learn about the
AT interface and operations, read this chapter, and then continue to Chapter 3.
About the Terminal Device
The 8400B Plus Data Module operates with any asynchronous data terminal
device that has either an EIA-232-D or RS-232-C interface. If you are using a
PC as your terminal, you will need a suitable PC communications package. EIA
Connector cord and PC communications package requirements are described
in this chapter.
You must set the appropriate configuration options before connecting the 8400B
Plus Data Module to a printer or plotter. To do this, connect a data terminal or
PC to the EIA Connector Interface on the 8400B Plus Data Module, change and
store the necessary configuration parameters, remove the data terminal or PC,
and then connect the printer or plotter. The configuration parameters used for
this type of operation are described in ‘‘Remote Site Use’’ on page 3-13.
