COMMUNICATION CONNECTION
RS-232 Communications - Host
Computer/Modem
Operating as a stand-alone system, the Superterm
communicates with a host computer (directly or
through a modem) through the RS-232 channel.
Proper RS-232 communications require observing
the EIA standard pin definitions of Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) and Data Control Equipment
(DCE).
NOTE: All RS-232 equipment made by
Continental Instruments LLC, including the
Superterm, are configured as DTE devices.
RS-232 Cable Requirements
RS-232 communications between the Superterm
and a host computer/modem require stranded, 3
conductor, 22 AWG cable with shielding and a
drain wire.
NOTE:
DO NOT use twisted pair wires.
Table 26 lists the cable gauge-vs-length
requirements for proper operation of the Superterm
and the host computer.

NOTES:
A host computer is typically connected
to the RS-232 cable using either a DB9-S or a
DB25-S connector. Modems are typically
connected to the RS-232 cable using a DB25-P
connector.
RS-232 Jumper Settings
RS-232 communications between the Superterm
and a host computer require setting the 232-1
jumper on the Superterm board. Refer to page 72,
232-1 Jumper Setting, for specific information.
Address Setting
Operating the Superterm on the RS-232 channel
requires setting a board address on DIP switch S 1
(address zero is not valid). Refer to page 36,
Network Address Setting, For specific information.
Superterm to Host Computer/Modem
Connection
Figure 27 shows a direct Superterm-to-host
computer connection.
Figure 28 shows a Superterm-to-host computer
connection through a modem.
NOTE: Set switch position 7 of Dip Switch S 1 on
the Superterm to OFF when using a modem. Refer
to page 36, for specific instructions on setting the S
1 DIP switch.
1)
Connect the
Transmit
pin of the RS-232
device to POLL terminal strip pin number 5
(labeled RxD) (see Figure 28).
2)
Connect the
Receive
pin of the RS-232 device
to POLL terminal strip pin number 4 (labeled
TxD).
3)
Connect the
Ground
pin of the RS-232 device
to POLL terminal strip pin number 6 (labeled
GND).
4)
Connect the RS-232 cabling drain wire/shield
to GROUND at the host computer/modem end
of the cable.
Do Not
connect the drain wire at
the Superterm end of the cable.
Table 27 lists the connections between the POLL
terminal strip and a host computer.
