2     Ethernet Interface Adapter User’s Guide 

The adapter provides 802.3 Ethernet connectivity, TCP/IP host 
connectivity, and Telnet application connectivity. 

Configuring The Terminal 

In order for the adapter to function successfully, the terminal 
should be configured as follows: 

Data Format 

8 data bits 
1 stop bit 
No parity  

EIA Baud Rate 

38400  

EIA Communication Protocol 

None 
Xon/Xoff 
DTR/DSR 
Both 

 

This setting should match the 

Comm Protocol

 setting of the 

adapter (see page 9). If the adapter’s 

Comm Protocol

 is set to 

None

, the terminal could lose data. 

 

Emulation 

This adapter works with all the standard terminal 
emulations. However, the 

host emulation

 should match the 

terminal emulation. 

 

For example, a user logs on to a UNIX system, and selects 
the host emulation to be AT386 (using the command 
TERM=AT386 <CR> followed by set TERM<CR>). At this point, 
the user must make sure that the terminal emulation is also 
set to AT386 (by entering the 

terminal

 setup and checking 

the emulation parameter). 

 

A terminal in 

PC-Term

 emulation with 

Scan Code

 mode on, can 

not navigate the adapter setup menu. Change the key mode to 
ASCII or change the terminal emulation to other than PC-
