Use And Configuration
This section covers connection and set-up of the channel data ports. The composite port is
covered in the
Installation
section of this manual.
Data Channel Connection
Low speed peripherals are connected to the V.24/V.28 (and X.21/V.11 where the High Speed
Data option is fitted) DB25 connectors configured DCE and numbered 1 to 8 at the rear of
the multiplexer. The pin connections for these data channels are defined in the Appendix.
Default Channel Setup
On delivery all V.24 channels are configured as follows;
Rate
:
4800bps
Type
:
Synchronous
Clocks
:
Internal
Signals
:
Both+
RTS/CTS Delay
:
0ms
Changing the Configuration
The Sprint 2 may be configured using an asynchronous terminal. A laptop PC running an
asynchronous terminal emulation program such as PCAnywhere
, CrossTalk
or Blast
is
ideal for the field engineer. The terminal should be connected via its serial port to the
SUPERVISOR port on the rear of the multiplexer.
Supervisor Terminal Requirements
The 9.6Kbps terminal must be configured for soft flow control with an 8 bit word, one stop
bit, and no parity (81N.)
The Supervisor Port pinout is defined in Appendix E.
