2-8 Installing Your Peritek Graphics Board
2.3.5 Connecting the Mouse, Keyboard, and Console
This section applies only to applications which use a mouse (or trackball)
and keyboard. Plug in the mouse and the keyboard cables.
Note
If you have an older style Peritek board, it will have a 20-pin header which
accepts a ribbon connector instead of separate keyboard, mouse and
terminal connectors.
If your graphics board does not use PTERM, your ribbon cable will have
two connectors, labeled M and K. These letters stand for "mouse" and
"keyboard." Plug these connectors in to the mouse and keyboard.
If your graphics board uses PTERM, your ribbon cable will have four
connectors, labeled M, K, C, and S. These letters stand for "mouse,"
"keyboard," "console," and "special." The S plug is not used. Plug the
other three connectors in to the mouse, keyboard, and the console ports on
your computer.
Plug the mouse cable into the 9-pin male connector labelled MOUSE .
Plug an LK201 or LK401 keyboard into the RJ-11 socket labelled
LK401 , or plug a PC keyboard with a PS/2 style connector or adapter
into the round 6-pin socket labelled PC KBD .
If you are using the PTERM terminal emulator, plug the console cable
from the computer into the 9-pin female connector labelled
CONSOLE .
PTERM supports 9600 baud. Jumpers control the data bits, parity, and
RTS/CTS and XON/XOFF protocol. See Section 2.4.10.
The console port of your computer should be set to these values. If you
have trouble matching the board and computer console ports, refer to
Chapter 6 or contact Peritek.
