THE GENICOM TERMINET
Note: The Genicom TermiNet was previously manufactured by General Electric.
The Genicom TermiNet (Figure 9) is a keyboard/printer that functions in much the same way as the ADDS
terminal.
The Genicom TermiNet
FIGURE 9
INSTALLATION NOTES
The Genicom TermiNet can be supervised by the BMUX. To supervise a TermiNet, the BMUX polls it every nine
seconds. The TermiNet (if functioning properly) responds with special answerback message that says, “Yes, I’m
still here”. The lack of an answerback causes the BMUX to report a trouble for the TermiNet’s port. The BMUX
will report a port trouble under any of the following conditions:
l The TermiNet has failed.
l The Terminet has been turned off.
l The TermiNet’s RS232C cable has been disconnected.
Note: It is not necessary to supervise the TermiNet.
IMPORTANT: The TermiNet must be connected to its order entry-assigned port on a COLD START if it is to be
supervised or a port failure will be reported.
If the G.E. TermiNet does not respond properly when connected to a supervised 2120 port, reset the BMUX using
the CPU board switch. When you do so the TermiNet must be powered-up, on line, and connected to the BMUX.
Further, the appropriate port must be designated “GE.”
If after trying the above the TermiNet does not respond properly, follow the procedure below.
Note: Make sure that AC is present at the unit, that its paper is loaded, and that it is connected to the BMUX
before proceeding.
1. Hold down the [=I key and press the
q
key. The unit’s display should indicate the port’s
baud rate. If not, holding down the I FCT key and repeatedly pressing the El ( key will
cause the available baud rates to appear in the display. Stop at the appropriate baud rate.
10 =lOO baud 30 = 300 baud 120 = 1200 baud
2. Hold down the El
FCT key and press the I7
( 9 key until the display indicates “8.” (This sets
the number of lines per inch.)
3. Hold down the I FCT key and press the IK] key until the display indicates “FUL.” (This sets the
unit’s mode to full duplex.)
4. Hold down the pEq key and press the m key until the display indicates “OnL.” (This puts the
, unit on line.)
10
firealarmresources.com

5. Hold down the [FCTl key and press the I
h 2 key until the display indicates “16.” (This sets
the number of characters per inch.)
6. Enter “DEV” at the local printer ot verify that the TermiNet’s port is designated “GE.” If not, reassign the
port.
7. If you now get a port failure, reset the BMUX via the CPU board switch. (When doing so make sure that
the TermiNet is powered up, on line, and connected to the BMUX.)
Note: If the port failure does not clear within 60 seconds, then proceed to Step 8. If the port failure clears, then
you are done.
8. Hold down the pj key and press the m key until the display indicates “LOC.” (This puts
the unit into local operation.)
9. Hold down the Ei key and type in “ASU.” The TermiNet should then print “9 B.” (This checks the
unit’s response to a BMUX poll.)
Note: If the result of Step 9 is something other than “q B,” then proceed to Step 10. If the result is correct,
10.

then proceed to Step 14.
Press and release the El
FCT key.
Hold down the I CTL key and press the [BI key.
Press and release the [FCT 1 key.
Repeat Step 9 to verify your entry. If the result is not ” 9 B,” then go to Step 16.
Press the [RETURNI key
You are done. To bring the TermiNet back on line, repeat Step 4. Then, reset the BMUX via the switch
on the CPU board.
Hold down the I FCT key and type in “OSU.” The resulting printout must look like this:
123456789012345678901234567890
000000000000000000000000000000
If the printout is correct, then press the [ RETURN 1 key.
If an “I” appears under any number, move the print head to the location of the “I” and type in a capital “0”.
Do so for each “I” in the printout. Press the [] key when done.
Go to Step 15.

Look at the “CTL” key on the left side of the keyboard. The “CTL” key, when used in conjunction with other keys,
performs special functions.
l Holding the “CTL” key down and then pressing the “X” key will end a report that was requested by a “LIST”
command.
l Holding the “CTL” key down and then pressing the “A” key will acknowledge 2120 alarms and troubles. (If
the port is programmed for remote acknowledge.)
l Holding the “CTL” key down and then pressing the “S” key will activate the 2120 SIGNAL SILENCE program.
(If the port is programmed for remote acknowledge.)
l Holding the “CTL” key down and then pressing the “D” key will activate the 2120 DETECTOR RESET
program. (If the port is programmed for remote acknowledge.)
l Holding the “CTL” key down and then pressing the “G” key will test the TermiNet’s SONALERT.
How to Set TermiNet Margins:
1. Hold down the 0 FCT key and press the r\ key. This clears the existing margins.
2. Return the print head to the left margin by pressing the 1 RETURN 1 key.
3. Position the print head at the desired left margin location using the space bar.
4. Hold down the El
FCT key and press the [3] key. This programs the left margin setting at the
print head’s location.
5. Position the print head at the desired right margin location using the space bar.
6. Hold down the ml key and press the 171 key. This programs the right margin setting at the
print head’s location.
How to Set Top of Form (TOF) and Bottom of Form (BOF)
1. Place the paper into the TermiNet and align the desired top-of-form location with the print head’s position.
2. Hold down the ilFCT key and press the [o] key. This programs the TOF at the print head’s
current location. (Display reads, “FSU.“)
3. Using the LF
I
key, advance the paper until the bottom-of-form location is at the print head’s position.
4. Hold down the 0FCT key and press the [y] key. This programs the BOF at the print head’s
current location.
5. Using the cl LF key, advance the paper until the print head is at the top of the next page.
6. Hold down the 0FCT key and press the 101 key. This terminates the form’s set up mode.
Note: There are two TermiNet versions. The 2030 operates at 300 baud only; the 2120 operates at 1200 baud.

If you wish to temporarily connect the Centronics 150 printer to the ADDS CRT/keyboard AUX port for service
printouts, etc., do so using Figure 19.
NOTES
does not seem to function, you can enable it by holding down the
key. To disable the port once enabled by CTRL-R, hold down the
(CTRL( key and press the m key.
2. Do not use the ADDS CRT/keyboard AUX port for permanent connections because the AUX port must be
enabled by a CTRL-R anytime the ADDS CRT/keyboard is powered-up.

CENTRONICS H80 CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS
Figure 21 shows the Centronics H80 control panel. There are three LEDs and three switches on the control panel.
l The FF switch, which advances the printer paper to the top of the next page when pressed.
l The LF switch, which advances the printer paper by one line when pressed momentarily, and feeds paper
continuously if held in when the printer is OFF LINE.
l The ON LINE switch. When power is turned on, the printer is automatically on line and ready to receive data.
If you press this switch, the printer is placed OFF LINE, allowing local paper control via LF and FF. Pressing
it once more places the printer ON LINE.
l The ON LINE LED, which indicates that the printer is ON LINE and ready to receive data.
l The ALARM LED, which indicates that the printer is out of paper
l The READ,Y LED, which is on to indicate that the printer is on.

The LF switch performs another function that could be useful at system checkout. If the printer is off and you turn
it on with the LF switch pressed, then the printer will perform a self-test. (Be sure to leave the LF switch pressed
for a few seconds after applying power.) A sample self-test printout is shown in Figure 22.
