1.4 1.4 Installation Installation
To following brief outline may be used to get the TT-3042D up
and running as a printer together with a Thrane & Thrane
transceiver which supports Arcnet - hardware as well as software
wise.
1. Set an unique Arcnet address as described in section 1.5.2.
2. Connect the 3042D to the transceiver by means of the
accompanying interconnection cable (15 pole SubD
connectors).
3. Connect the 3042D to a DC power source by means of the
accompanying power cable. For security reasons take care
to connect the ground/chassis wire properly to ground.
When power is applied it should now be possible for the
transceiver to print on the TT-3042D when needed or initiated
by the user.
In case the accompanying Arcnet interconnection cable is not
suitable and another cabling has to be made please observe the
guidelines given below regarding establishment of an Arcnet.
Please note that the Arcnet system supported is a twisted pair in
bus topology.
•
The Arcnet bus should be wired as a bus meaning that there
must be no branches or stubs. The Arcnet devices attached
should be placed like pearls on a string.
•
The Arcnet bus will have two ends and both of these should
be terminated with a 100 Ohm resistor (
±
1%). The TT-3042D
does NOT contain any termination-resistor. If needed the
termination resistor could be placed in the 15 pole SubD
connector connected to the twisted pair cable. This is the
case for the accompanying cable.
