7.3 RS232 REAR-PANEL CONNECTIONS
All
RS232
connections are made at the rear panel of the unit. Figure 7-8 shows the rear panel
of the unit. A single terminal is connected to the connector labeled "
RS232
". If units are
chained, the
AUX
connector is also used. The
POWER
and
LINE/TIMS
connections are
described in Sections 1 and 2.
7.3.1
Printer Cable (48-0084) Connection:
A terminal or computer can be connected to the
AM8a by means of a printer cable (P/N 48-0084) illustrated in Figure 7-9. This cable
is specifically designed for use with an optional printer/terminal (P/N 24-0016) which
is a 300 baud thermal printer. The cable may be used, however, with any external
device which has the proper connector.
Another cable (not illustrated) which may be used is the Universal Printer Cable (P/N
48-0012). This cable brings out pin 2 (Transmit to terminal) to a Red wire, pin 3
(Receive from terminal) to a Green wire, and signal-ground to a Black wire.
The 25-pin female connector on the cable is plugged into the
RS232
connector on the
rear panel of the unit.
If units are chained, the printer cable is connected to the first ("
A
") unit in the chain.
The baud rate, parity, and
CR
delay for the
RS232
port must be set to match the
terminal's characteristics through the
CONFIG'N SETUP
menu.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 2400 baud rate when units are chained.
