RPSD Lock or Key Administration Terminal
The administration terminals for both Lock and Key are customer supplied. Any
administration terminal for the RPSD Lock or for the RPSD Key must meet the
following requirements:
■
Asynchronous
■
Full or half-duplex
■
Standard RS-232 interface for connection to a DCE interface
■
Baud rate in the range 300–19.2K (19.2K is the maximum rate for the DB9
AUX PORT.)
■
Any word size and parity
Use a standard RS-232 cable to connect the administration terminal to the
DB9/DB25 cable connected to the AUX. PORT of the RPSD Lock or Key. This
RS-232 cable is not supplied. The AUX. PORT is the same port used if a printer is
installed. You may wish to install a switch to make changing the AUX. PORT
connection easier (for example, from a terminal to a printer).
The terminal should initially be set to 9600 bps and 8 bits, no parity. These are
the factory default settings of the Lock and the Key. You may change these
parameters later on Lock, Key, and administration terminals.
RPSD Lock Administration Printer
The RPSD Lock requires a serial printer with XON/XOFF flow control.
Connect the printer (via its cable) to the DB9/DB25 cable connected to the AUX.
PORT of the RPSD Lock. The printer cable is not supplied. This is the same port
used by the administration terminal. You may wish to install a switch to make
changing the AUX. PORT connection easier (for example, from a terminal to a
printer).
