AM-6060 Computer Owner's Manual, Rev. 00
Refer to the documentation accompanying your terminal for information on setting its baud rate and the
parameters listed above.
Once the computer is booted with a compatible terminal, you can define your own type of terminal and
tell the computer to use that terminal from now on, as long as it stays at 19,200 baud for CMOS
configuration use. For more information on defining your own terminal, please refer to the System
Operator's Guide.
Connecting the Cable
Refer to the FCC warning concerning electromagnetic interference at the front of this manual.
The terminal cables you use must be shielded to minimize such interference. Also, see the section
"Power and Cable Connections" earlier in this chapter.
Make sure you have an appropriate cable for connecting the terminal to the computer. See Appendix A
for cable guidelines. If you do not have the proper cable, please contact your VAR.
Plug one end of the cable into the proper connector on the back of the terminal and the other end into the
appropriate connector on the back of the CPU chassis. Alpha Micro cables are labeled at each end to
indicate which end plugs into the CPU and which end goes to the terminal.
INITIAL TESTING
Before you boot the computer under AMOS, connect the AM-6060 to your network, or hook up any
additional serial devices to the other three serial ports, you should use the self test feature to verify that
the hardware is working correctly. For full information on the self test, refer to The Self Test User's
Guide shipped with this owner's manual. Perform the self test now, then turn the computer off again
before proceeding to the next section.
CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
The back panel of the AM-6060 includes a 10BaseT Ethernet connector, as shown in Figure 2-2. Use
standard Ethernet cable to connect the AM-6060 to your Ethernet network. Attach it as you would any
other network computer or workstation, using Level 5 compliant cable; there are no special cabling
requirements.
BOOTING UP UNDER AMOS
Normally, the AMOS system software is installed by Alpha Micro before the computer leaves the
factory. If this is the case, all you need to do to bring the computer up under AMOS is turn the computer
on. Follow these steps:
1. Turn on your terminal and any other peripheral devices such as a printer.
2. Press the AC power button on the front panel.
