Device Connection / Access
3.01 On-Site Terminal
(RS-232C Direct Communication)
1. Connect the IBM-PC to the RS-232C port #1.
2. Execute the RS-232C communication software (terminal software).
3. Adjust the communication parameters as follows:
Parameter Default
Speed 9600 bps
Data Length 8 bits
Parity None
Stop Bits 1 bit
Data Flow Control XON / XOFF
Auto Wrap OFF
Terminal Emulation DEC VT100 or VT220
Capturing Data RAWASCII
File Receive / Send Protocol ASCII Text
(Note)
• Communication parameters must be the same at the both ends, the KX-TD500 and the PC.
• If nothing is displayed after connection, check the cable connection, communication parameters, or
press the CR (Enter) key several times.
• If your communication software (terminal software) has the the DEC VT100 or VT220 Emulation, you
can execute the programming either in the VT mode or the Dumb mode. If it doesn’t have, the display of
the VT mode gets confused. In this case, change the programming mode to the Dumb mode (set the
CPU SYSTEM switch to “3” and reset).
• If the parameters — Speed, Data Length, Parity and Stop Bits — are not entered correctly, nothing is
displayed or strange characters appear at the screen. In this case, check the parameters and reset the
cable connection, or check the COM port connection of the communication software.
