The Network Terminal (NT) Emulation software allows the NT to be
replaced by a desktop computer (e.g., IBM® or Compaq®
)
, or a laptop
(e.g., Toshiba
™
or Compaq). All operations performed by the NT can
also be performed on a PC or laptop with the emulation software. This
section will document the differences between the NT and the NT
Emulator. For information on the usage and capabilities of the NT,
please refer to the previous sections in this manual.
Introduction
Note:
The NCM45x0-2 model does not support the NT Emulator.
To load Emulation software:
Note:
If you do not have a floppy disk system, skip Step 1.
1. Place the NT Emulator diskette in the floppy disk drive and copy the
contents of the disk onto the PC’s hard disk.
2. If a mouse is present, install the mouse driver.
3. Install the Hardlock
™
security key by attaching it to one of the
parallel printer ports, either LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3.
If you have a printer attached to the parallel port the key will be
installed on, the security key must be installed between the printer
and the computer, and the printer must be powered on.
The key will in no way affect the function of the printer. If the key is
not attached or the printer is not powered on, the NT Emulator
software will not allow you to select NT keys displayed on screen.
To start the NT Emulator software, type:
NTEM [port] [baud_rate] [port_address]
[interrupt_request_line]
. The parameters are optional but, if
used, must be entered in the order shown above.
