Remote operation via terminal
The definition of remote operation via terminal and the relevant hardware set-ups are
given in § 7.3.2, p.55 and sketched in Fig. 7.2, p.55. Here below the cabling instructions
are given according to the type of connection used to communicate with the system.
7.4.2.1 Using the RS232 interface
The operation of the SY1527 system from an external terminal, either an ANSI VT100
terminal or a standard IBM
TM
PC running a terminal emulator program, requires the
following:
1. Connect the SY1527 crate to the mains as described in § 7.1.3, p.53;
2. If you are using an IBM
TM
PC running a terminal emulator program verify that the
settings are appropriate;
3. Check that the RS232 cable has the characteristics summarised in Fig. 7.4 and
Fig. 7.5, according to the type of RS232 connector on the terminal (the example
in the figure refers to a DTE device, e.g. a PC);
4. Identify the RS232 interface located in the Interface Bus section on the front
panel (see also to Fig. 7.3, p.57);
5. Connect the video terminal (ANSI VT100 or compatible) or the standard PC
running a terminal emulator program to the crate by using the RS232 cable.
