To set the serial configuration switches
1
Set switch S1 to CLOSED (RS-232).
2
Set switches S2-S4 to CLOSED.
3
Set switch S5 to CLOSED (HW HANDSHAKE ON) if your serial
interface uses the DSR:CTS/RTS lines for flow control. Set S5 to
OPEN (HW HANDSHAKE OFF) if your serial interface uses software
flow control (XON/XOFF).
If your serial interface supports hardware handshaking, you should use it (set
switch S5 to CLOSED). Hardware handshaking will make the serial
connection much more reliable.
4
Set switches S6-S8 for the baud rate you will use. These switch
settings are listed on the bottom of the HP E3472A/73A Emulator.
The higher baud rates may not work reliably with all hosts and user
interfaces. Make sure the baud rate you choose is supported by your host
and user interface.
Example
To use a baud rate of 9600 baud, set the switches as follows:
