COMMUNICATION

The

Falco 5000 comes stan-

dard with

three

serial ports

and

one

parallel port. All

three serial ports can

be

used

as

online host ports, printer

ports

or

modem ports and can

be configured for either an

RS232C

or

RS422 interface.

This

is

done through cable

configurations.

The

Falco 500e, 5220e, 5600

and 5500e come with two

standard serial ports.

An

expansion card

is

available for

the Falco 500e,5220e and

5600 for additional port

options.

Falco terminals come stan-

dard with a female communi-

cation port connector. A

gender changer may be

required at

some

installations.

The

12 pins

of

the communi-

cation interface listed below

carry signals either into

or

out

of

the

terminal. All pins, if

connected at the terminal, can

have

some

impact on

the

terminal's ability to communi-

cate properly.

Be

sure only

the pins required by your sys-

tem are connected to the ter-

minal.
