Installing Your System
2.3 Connecting System Components
2.3.6 Connect a Console Terminal
You do not need a locally connected terminal for normal InfoServer operation.
However, Digital advises that you connect a local terminal as part of this
installation procedure, to ensure that the InfoServer system is operating
properly.
The recommended console terminal is a VT300 series terminal. When you
connect the terminal cable to one of the MMJ ports on the rear of the VT300
series terminal, the port must be set for DEC-423 operation. See your terminal
documentation for details.
To connect a terminal to the server, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the
l O
power switch on the terminal is off (O).
2.
Connect the terminal cable supplied with the system to MMJ port 1 on the
rear panel of the system unit.

Connect the other end of the console cable to the communications port on
the terminal.

The terminal must be set at 9600 baud, with 8 bits, and no parity. See
your terminal documentation if you need information on setting up your
terminal.
