STEP 2 – Physical Connections
Depending on the types of serial interfaces of your devices, you may need one or more
“null modem” adapters to communicate properly.
First, refer to the Common Setups diagrams later in this chapter. If one of these setups
matches your needs, make the connections as shown in the diagrams by referring to
the Host/Printer Connection Guide shown later in this chapter. Each cable
connection in the diagram (the lines with arrows on each end) has a letter next to it.
The letters correspond to the letters in the Host/Printer Connection Guide. If these
setups don’t apply, choose the connections in the Host/Printer Connection Guide
that are appropriate.
Your physical connections are now complete.
STEP 3 – No Printer Option
If you did not opt to install a printer (do not complete connection E, F, or G), you
must set the “Printer Use” selection in the GLOBAL Setup menu to “None”.
STEP 4 – Know Your Serial Port(s) Protocol
Consult your system administrator to find out the communication settings on all the
serial devices you are connected to, including EIA (or Aux) baud, data bits, stop bits,
parity, parity checking on/off, and flow control protocol. This could include a
host/modem, or a serial printer.
