2 Installing the 50BMT Terminal
Selecting a Location
Use thefollowing guidelines to help you select alocation for your tenninal.
• The location must be large enough for the tenninal. This means a space at least 19" wide (keyboard),
14" high (display), and 23.5" deep (display and keyboard). Leave several inches ofempty space in
front, behind, and both sides ofthe tenninal for ventilation.
• The tenninal must be located on a flat, solid surface, such as a desk.
• Choose alocation that is clean and free from excessive heat, direct sunlight, moisture and dust.
• Use a grounded outlet, one that has three conductors to match the power plug on the tenninal. Do not
use an adapter plug or extension cord.
• Avoid using outlets onthe same circuit as other large motors, such as copiers orpostage machines,
desk fans, vacuum cleaners, or other appliances that create electrical interference that might disturb
the tenninal'spower and cause distortion.
Unpacking the Terminal
Unpack and check the contents ofeach carton. Make sure you have all the items listed below. If any
items are missing ordamaged, report it immediately to ADP.
• Video Terminal
• Powercord
• 2- serial port adapters
• ADP 508MT Terminal User's Guide
• ADP 508MT QuickReference Card
• Keyboard packed in a separate box
Save all packing materials in case you have to move or ship the tenninal later. Before transporting the
terminal, be sure to replace all the original packing materials.
Connecting the Cables and AC Power
Use the following steps to connect the cables, keyboard and power to the 508MT.
1. Place the tenninal on alevel surface.
2. Remove the back cover from the terminal by pressing finnly on the left and right sides to release the
tabs and slide the cover backward away from the tenninal as shown in the following figure.

Installing the 508MT Terminal 3
Once the backcover is removed, the power, parallel, serial, and keyboard connectors are exposed.
3. Connect the cable from the keyboard to the connectorlocated on the rear of the tenninal labeled
KEYBOARD.
4. Connectthe cable from the host computerto the 25-pinRS-232 connectorback of the monitor
labeled COMl.
5. If you are using a serial slave printer, connect the cable from the printerto the 9-pin connector on the
back of the terminal labeled COM2.
6. If you are using a parallel printer, connectthe cable from the printer to the 25-pinRS-232 connector
on the back of the terminal labeled PARALLEL.
Caution: Before connecting the tenninal to other ACpower, make sure the tenninal's powerswitch
located on the front of the tenninal is inthe off position.
7. Plug the powercord into the male-type connector onthe back of the terminal labeled POWER, then
plug the otherend of the powercord into a suitable wall power outlet
Setting up the Terminal for Use
After all of the communication cables and ACpowerare connected to the terminal, press the power
button located on the front of the terminal.
The tenninal performs a power up selftest that causes a greenpowerLED to flash once and the terminal
to beep once. Then" ADP 508MT OK" displays.

Configuring the Host Port
The port on the hostmust be configuredfor use with the 508MT. To configure the port •youuse a utility
routine calledSetTerminal Charact.eristics (1RM).
Use the following steps to configure the host port.
1. Log on to the ADP computing system using the 508MTyou just installed You canlog on to the
system maintenance account, MAINT, or any of your application accounts.
2. SelectUtility Function (UF) from the main menu.
3. Select SetTerminal Charact.eristics (TRM) from the utility functions menu.
4. Selectoption 1, Setup and Store Terminal Characteristics.
5. At the Terminal Type Options prompt, select 1 Video Default
6. At the EnterTerminal Type Options prompt, selectthe option ADP508MT. If ADP 508MTis not an
option, selectADP SOSMT.
7. Enter the appropriate numberfor the type of slave printerattached to the terminal. If no slave printer
is used, selectthe option None.
8. At the 80 Column Display (Y/N) prompt, press Enter.
9. At the disable Type Ahead (YIN) prompt, press Enter.
Adjusting the Contrast and Brightness
Use the two thumb knobs located on the lowerleft side of the monitorunitto adjust the screen contrast
(starsymbol) and brightness (moon symbol).
Adjusting the Tilt-Swivel Base
The terminal can be adjusted to the viewing angle you prefer. To adjust the display angle, tiltthe terminal
forward or backward and rotate the terminal to the desired position. Once positioned the display remains
inthat position.
Using the 508MT Terminal Keyboard and Indicators
The 508MTuses a standard PC 101-key keyboard that allows you to configure the terminal's operating
paramet.ers and communicate with an ADP host computer.
The keyboard has four groups of keys and three indicatorlights. These keys are grouped to help you enter
data accurately and easily. The keyboard also has two audible indicators, a keyclick and bell.
Some functions may vary, depending upon operating modes and software applications used.
The layout of the mainkeypad is similar to a typewriter keyboard, with alphanumeric characters,
punctuation marks, andShift keys. The main keypad also has a number of keys not found on a
typewriter, such as the Ctrl and Alt modifierkeys. Modifierkeys are pressed in combination with
anotherkey to modify the code sent by that key.
