Although it is possible to connect both RS232 and Ethernet cables, it isonly possible to use one type of connection at any time (depending on configuration defined interminal set up).The Ethernet network connection may be used to connect to any 10Mb compatible Ethernet hostadapter. However the Ethernet connection is most suited for use with RSC (Remote System Control)Ethernet ports since these provide the same functionality as serial (ttya) console ports.If connecting a serial RS232 cable to the server, it is advisable to power down the server first.The rear of the terminal tray has the following connections.SERIAL 2 PARALLEL SERIAL 1 10BASE T• Serial 2 and ParallelThe terminal supports a local printer which can be connected to a serial (male 9-pin D connector)or parallel (female 25-pin D connector) interface. Printer cables are not included with the terminal,and specific printers have not been qualified for this connection.• Serial 1This is a male 9-pin D connector port which should be used for a serial RS232 consoleconnection. The included cable can be used to connect this port to a female 25-pin D connectorconsole port. The included 25-pin to 9-pin adapter should be used in conjunction with this cablewhen connecting to a male 9-pin D connector console port.If your server has an RJ45 serial (RS232) port, connect the included 9-pin to 25-pin adapterdirectly to the SERIAL 1 port at the rear of the terminal. Then use the RJ45 cable and RJ45 toDB25 adapter (part number 530-2889) which are included with the server to connect to theterminal.When the terminal looses power or is powered off, a ‘break’ may be generated on the RS232 (SERIAL 1) host port (as is common withmost general purpose terminals). |
