Connecting the COM Port to an Async Terminal or PC
The FrameSaver unit must first be directly connected to a PC or asynchronous terminal
(providing VT100 terminal emulation) to set up access and management of the unit.
1. Configure the VT100-compatible terminal or PC to be compatible with the
access unit:
– Baud Rate set to 19.2 kbps.
– Character length set to 8 data bits.
– Parity set to none.
– Stop bit set to 1.
– Flow Control set to None.
2. Insert the DB25 end of the EIA-232 cable into the FrameSaver unit’s COM port.

3. Insert the other end of the cable into the PC or VT100-compatible terminal.
4. Tighten the screws on each side of the connector to secure them.
5. Press Enter (or Return, depending on your keyboard) to display the Main Menu.
If the Main Menu does not appear, recheck the terminal or PC settings (see
Step 1), or press the Enter key. Refer to Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide for
other possible explanations.
