In addition to the considerations listed above, the following applies to remote printers:
• Connect the printer to the modem as instructed by the modem manufacturer’s literature. A
telephone is required to dial the number unless the printer or modem provides an alternate dialing
method.
• The LinkUp 5294 modem should be optioned for Auto Answer if the printer operator will be dialing
into the port. Set the communications parameters of the printer, modems, and the LinkUp 5294 port
to match. A fixed baud rate must be used.
At the LinkUp 5294 site, the operator can monitor the port and observe the Ring Indicator flashing
during the dial-up. Once the LinkUp 5294 answers the call, the DTR and DSR lights will remain on. If
this does not happen, refer to
Chapter 9
for help in correcting the problem.

The following considerations apply to auxiliary printers attached directly to remotely connected
terminals.
• Verify that the auxiliary port of the chosen terminal is supported by the LinkUp 5294. Refer to the
Appendix G
for a list of terminals which support auxiliary printers.
• Connect the printer to the auxiliary or printer port of the terminal. Set the auxiliary port parameters
to agree with the printer requirements.
• The LU associated with the terminal must be configured to support an auxiliary printer LU. The
printer itself is defined through configuration of its own LU.
