Set Up
Connecting to a Host
With some terminal types, the LS 4071 is unable to answer host terminal polls
until the appropriate host type is selected. This may result in an error message
generated by the host. To correct this situation, select the proper parameter set
and initialize the host terminal. See Chapter 2 for more information.
RS-232C
Plug the cable from the RL 474 base station into the appropriate port on the host
device.
IBM 468X/9X
Plug the SDL modular connector at the end of the selected cable from the
RL 475 base station into the appropriate port (5B, 9B, 9C, 9E, or 17). Check
that the connection is secure. Note that the unit may be connected to one
hardware port, and configured for a different software port via the bar code
menus on page 5-8. The hardware ports determine how the unit is connected
to the host, while the software port configuration determines how it
communicates.
