5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
drive letter followed by a colon and [ENTER] (if you are keeping it
on a copy of the original diskette) or the hard-disk letter followed
by a colon, a backslash, the subdirectory name, and [ENTER] (if
you’re keeping it on the hard drive).
c) At the next DOS prompt, run the Emulator’s diagnostic program
by typing
emdiag [ENTER]
A copyright screen appears, prompting you to press [ENTER] to
continue. Then a diagnostic screen appears, showing the PC I/O
addresses the Card supports. Use the cursor to highlight the
address you want to test-run, then press [ENTER].
d) If this test fails for the given address, there might be a conflict for
that address that you’re not aware of. Check the address settings of
the PC’s I/O components again, carefully, and try setting the Card
to use a different address. If the test fails for any address you try,
you probably have a bad Card. See Section 9.4.
e) If this test is successful, the program prompts you to let it do a
modem-loopback test. Select “N”; the program ends.
6. Use an appropriate cable to connect the 5250 Remote Emulator Card
to a host’s communication port or to a modem:
For local operation (direct connection to host):
Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Cross-pinned DB44
male to DB25 female (product code EHN064-0020);
Across CCITT X.21 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to DB15
female (product code EHN063-0020);
Across CCITT V.35 interface: Cross-pinned DB44 male to 34-pin
M-block male (product code EHN065-0020);
For remote operation (connection to host across modem link):
Across EIA RS-232D/CCITT V.24 interface: Straight-through-
pinned DB44 male to DB25 female (product code EHN061-
0020);
Across CCITT X.21 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male
to DB15 female (product code EHN060-0020);
Across CCITT V.35 interface: Straight-through-pinned DB44 male
to 34-pin M-block male (product code EHN062-0020);
7. Remote operation only: Follow the modem manufacturer’s
instructions for installing and configuring the modem to perform
synchronous communication over your type of telephone line.
