Important Safety Instructions/Precautions
Follow these important safety precautions:
Read these instructions carefully before turning on the 5250 ALLY
and before plugging the unit into a power outlet.
Disconnect the power plug by pulling the plug, not the cord.
Never use the unit if it has been damaged or exposed to excessive
moisture.
Never open the cover of the 5250 ALLY.
5250 ALLY Rear Panel
The rear panel of the 5250 ALLY provides an on/off switch, an AC power
adapter outlet (DC IN), a DB-15 port for connecting a twinax adapter
(TWINAX HOST), a Centronics DB-25 parallel output port (PARALLEL
OUT PRINTER) and a DB-25 parallel input port (PARALLEL IN
ALTERNATE HOST).
The PARALLEL OUT PRINTER port is a PC-compatible DB-25
Centronics port that is dedicated to output to a printer or another
parallel-attached output device.
The PARALLEL IN ALTERNATE HOST port is a PC-compatible
DB-25 port dedicated to input from a PC, DEC VAX, HP 3000, PC
LAN, file server, print sharing device, protocol converter or another
parallel-attached alternate host input device.
The TWINAX HOST port is used to attach an intelligent twinax T
adapter for attachment to a twinax host. The adapter will
automatically terminate or cable-through.
