Connecting the Terminal Cable
The Terminal port on the back of the FrameSaver SLV 9580 DSU can be used to
connect a VT100-compatible terminal, a PC with terminal emulation software, or
a modem. The port can be protected by access level or password. Dial-in access
is disabled by default. See the User’s Guide for more information.
Connect a terminal or PC to the DSU with an EIA-232-F straight-through cable.
Connect a modem using an EIA-232-F crossover cable.
Procedure
To install the cable with a terminal, PC, or modem:
1. Press the 25-pin connector of the cable onto the TERMINAL PORT socket
on the back of the FrameSaver SLV 9580 DSU. If the cable will be
permanently attached, fasten the connector and fix the cable to the rail with a
cable tie or other strain relief device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal, PC, or modem.

Any flow control type, or no flow control, can be used. If using a modem,
configure it to automatically answer, and to use standard EIA-232-F detection
and control for RLSD, DSR, and DTR.
