Installation
This section provides a “walk-through” approach to the installation of your terminal.
This will enable you to physically connect the terminal to a printer and a host
computer/modem, as well as to configure the Setup menu to suit your requirements
and preferences.
The procedures described here are among the most common. Described here are
conventional setups, with or without a printer. These steps may need to be adjusted to
meet your requirements.
STEP 1 Know Your Devices
The first step in our installation process will be to determine what type of serial ports
you are connecting to the terminal. The Communications section in the Introduction
chapter describes the differences between a DTE and DCE serial device. Determine
what type of devices you are using (a DTE host, a DCE modem, a DTE printer, a
parallel printer, etc.).
