As
you
unpack
your
terminal, make sure you received everything shown
below.
If
anything
is
missing
or
visibly damaged, contact
the
dealer
from
whom you
purchased
the
terminal.
Power Cord
The
keyboard cable
and
the power cord come with
your
terminal. You'll also
need
an
RS-232C interface cable (fitted with a female 25-pin
connector
on
one
end)
to
connect the terminal to
your
computer.
To
connect a serial-type
printer
directly to
your
terminal, you'll
need
a second RS-232C interface
cable.
These
cables
can
be purchased from
your
dealer.
The
terminal should be located in
an
area
• Near a
grounded,
three-pronged
power outlet.
• In
an
area
with indirect lighting,
and
away from windows,
if
possible. Nearby
windows should be
on
either
side
of
the
terminal.
• Large
enough
to allow
three
inches
of
space
around
the terminal
for
ventilation.
Chapter
1
Connecting the Terminal
to a Computer
To
connect the terminal to
your
computer
1.
Press the bottom
half
of
the
power switch
on
the
front
of
the
terminal's
base to the
off
position.
2. Plug the coiled cable into the socket labeled KYBD
on
the back
of
the
terminal
and
into
the
keyboard.

on
the
back
of
the
terminal.

4.
The
power
requirements
shown
on
the
label
on
the
back
of
the
terminal
should
match
the
voltage
in
your
area.
If
not,
return
your
terminal
to
the
factory (or contact
your
distributor) to
change
the
setting.

5. Plug
the
pronged
end
of
the
power
cord
into
a
three-pronged
(in
the
U.S.),
grounded
power
outlet
(or use
an
adapter
for a
two-pronged
outlet). However,
if
you only have a
two-pronged
power
outlet,
be
sure
to
ground
the
outlet
by
attaching
the
adapter's pigtail to
the
faceplate
screw.
6. Locate your computer's interface cable.
It
should
be
an
EIA-standard
RS-232C
or
RS-423 cable with a female 25-pin
connector
on
at
least
one
end.
If
you're connecting a
computer
configured
for
current
loop (such
as a DEC),
the
interface cable will be
an
8-pin, male
20mA
connector
(MATE-N-LOK).
•
Note-Not
every
computer
has
the
same configuration
on
its RS-232C
port.
If
the
pin
connector
on
the
RS-232C cable isn't
configured
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
computer
and
the
terminal, they
won't
work
as
expected
(or may
not
work
at
all).
The
pin
assignments
of
the
terminal's
ports
are
listed in
Appendix
B.
If
the
connection pins differ, you
should
contact
the
systems analyst for
your
computer
to see
about
reconfiguration.
Installing
the
Terminal
1-5
1-6
7.
Connect
the
computer
interface cable to
the
terminal's
COMM
port
and
to
your
computer's
RS-232C port.
If
your
computer
is
configured
for
current
loop,
connect
the
8-pin cable to
the
terminal's
20mA
port
and
the
computer's
interface port.
The
20mA
port
is
pin-compatible with
DEC
computers.
See
Appendix
B for
pin
assignments
of
the
20mA
port.
8. With
an
l/s-inch, flat-blade screwdriver,
tighten
the
screws
on
both
sides
of
each connector.
Chapter
1
Connecting a Modem You
can
connect
a
modem
to
the
terminal
so
it
communicates
over
telephone
lines with
another
computer
.
•
Note-If
the
pin
assignments
required
by
your
modem
differ
from
those
needed
by
your
computer,
you'll
need
an
RS-232C interface cable especially
configured
for
your
modem.
Your
modem
may have its
own
cable.
Refer
to
your
modem's
reference
manual
for details.
1.
Attach
the
female
end
of
the
25-pin RS-232C interface cable to
the
COMM
port
on
the
back
of
the terminal.

2. Attach
the
other
end
of
the
cable to
your
modem's
RS-232C connector.
3. Follow
the
instructions in
your
modem's
manual
to
connect
the
modem
to
your
telephone.
4. With
an
Vs-inch, flat-blade screwdriver,
tighten
the
screws
on
both
sides
of
each
connector
to
secure
the
interface.

If
your
software
supports
a
printer
connected to a terminal, you
can
connect a
serial
printer
directly to
the
terminal. You'll
need
an RS-232C interface cable
with a 9-pin, D-shaped female connector
on
one
end.
1.
Plug
the
printer
interface cable into
the
PR
port
on
the
back
of
the
terminal.
2. With
an
\Is-inch, flat-blade screwdriver, tighten the screws
on
both
sides
of
each connector until secure.
3. Attach the
other
end
of
the
interface cable to the RS-232C
port
on
the
printer
.
•
Note-The
TEST
port
is
for
manufacturing
purposes only. Do
not
use this port.

Turning
on
the Terminal
After
the
terminal
is
properly
installed,
turn
it
on
by
pressing
the
top
half
of
the
terminal's
power
switch. Listen
for
an
immediate
beep
indicating
that
it
has
received power.
Whenever
you
turn
the
terminal
on,
it automatically
runs
a five-second
self-test.
If
the
terminal
has recently
been
on
and
the
cathode
ray
tube
(CRT)
is
warm,
the
screen
flashes several display
patterns
as
the
self-test
runs.
If
the
terminal
encounters
a
problem
during
the
self-test, a
beep
sounds
and
an
error
code
appears
in
the
bottom
right-hand
corner
of
the
screen. You
can't
operate
the
terminal
if
certain
error
message
are
shown; it may
need
to
be
serviced by a qualified technician.
•
Note-If
you see
an
X
or
Y in
the
bottom
right
corner
of
the
screen, see
the
Troubleshooting
chapter.
To
reset
the
terminal
so
that
it will
rerun
its self-test, press
the
SHIFT
key,
CTRL
key,
and
SETUP
(F3) key simultaneously.
When
the
cursor
is
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
screen,
the
terminal
has
passed
all
of
its tests
and
is
ready
for
operation.
The
next
thing
to
appear
on
the
screen
is
the
message line. LINE, LOCL,
ECHO,
or
BLCK
appear
at
the
top
left
part
of
the
screen.
Later
you
may
see
messages
about
the
terminal
(called
terminal
status messages) above
the
left
half
of
the
line. Messages
from
the
computer
may
appear
above
the
right
half
of
the
line.

Adjust
your
terminal so
that
the
center
of
the screen
is
slightly below
your
eye
level. Swivel
the
screen sideways
and
up
and
down until you find
the
most
comfortable angle.
If
you want
the
keyboard tilted slightly,
turn
it over
and
pull
out
the
hinged
bars.
Typing
will be
more
comfortable
if
the keyboard
is
at
or
below
your
elbow height.
Adjust
the
intensity
of
the screen display by
turning
the brightness control
thumbwheellocated
at the lower
front
right
corner
of
the terminal.
Now you've completed
the
physical installation
of
the
terminal. Before
the
terminal
and
computer
can communicate, however, you must check the
terminal's
setup
parameters.
This
is
explained in detail in
Chapter
2.

Introduction
Entering Setup Mode
2-2
The
terminal
and
computer
must
have a
common
language to communicate.
This
language
is
determined
by a set
of
variables called parameters. You can
change
the values
of
your
terminal's parameters in the
setup
mode
to enable
the terminal to communicate with many manufacturers' computers.
The
way a terminal's parameters
are
set make
up
its configuration.
The
configuration
of
your
terminal
and
computer
(or
other
device)
must
match.
Your terminal has a set
of
default values. Since these default values may
not
exactly match the device you want to attach, you may
need
to
change
some
of
these values.
In
setup mode, you
can
also change optional parameters, such as
the
number
of
columns displayed
on
the
screen
or
your
cursor
attributes, as well as
program
a set
of
user-defined function keys
to
perform
desired functions.
Enter
setup
mode
by
pressing
the
SETUP
(F3)
key.
During
setup
mode,
the
cursor
temporarily disappears,
but
reappears when
the
terminal
is
in its
normal mode.
The
information you
enter
remains frozen
on
the
screen
and
cannot
be altered.
...
Caution-Do
not
enter
setup
mode
while
data
is
being transmitted between
the
terminal
and
the computer.
The
terminal cannot receive
data
during
setup
mode.
A row
of
boxes (calledfields)
appear
at
the
top
of
the
screen
in
setup
mode.
Each field defines
the
function
of
a special
key.
The
fields
on
the
bottom
of
the screen contain text.
These
fields make
up
the
setup
line
and
display
the
parameters
you
can
define for the terminal. See
the
following figure.
The
highlighted field
on
the
setup line
is
the active field,
or
the
field whose
values you can change. Activate desired fields by pressing
the.
or
~
cursor
key.
The
setup line has 44 levels
arranged
in the
order
shown in Table 2-1. Each
setup
level displays a different set
of
parameters. Table
2-1
lists
the
setup
levels
and
describes
the
features you can change
in
each.
