up the terminal.
Note
If you connect the console terminal cable to one of the MMJ ports on
the back of a VT3
xx
terminal, you must set the port so that it can
operate as a DEC423 port. See the terminal documentation for more
information.
3. Connect the terminal cable supplied with the system (see Figure 2–2) to
MMJ port 3 on the back of the system (see Figure 2–3). Connect the other
end of the console cable to a DEC423 port on the terminal.
4. If the terminal has EIA-232 ports only, connect the EIA-232 to DEC423
adapter to the EIA-232 port on the terminal. Then connect the terminal
cable to the EIA-232 to DEC423 adapter.
Note
Some terminal cables have grond wire. You must connect this ground
wire to the grounding pillar (screw) above MMJ port 1, using the screw
provided with the cable.
