The HOST 9 pin D type connector is an RS-232-Cinterface.
The HOST 6 pin DEC type connector is an RS-423interface.
The RS-232-Cconnection can be made directly to the host or through a MODEM or
terminal selVer to host.
Communication parameters can be selected in Set-Up. (See Chapter 4 in this
Manual.)

Getting Started
When you install your ELT320 all operating features are set to their factory-default
settings. This setting works with most computer systems. If you have to set some
features to match your host system, see Chapter 4 -Set-up.
To connect the terminal to your host system you must have the following properly
set:
.The host port selected for use-
.The keyboard language.
.The baud rate and character fonnat.
.The emulation type.
Brightness Control
The brightnesscontrol is a thumbwheellocated at the bottom edgeof the face of
