Obtaining Components To Connect a Modem to a Remote
Terminal
You must have the following components to connect a modem to a remote terminal:
-
External Boca 14.4Kbps V.32bis modem (available from Octel)
-
Straight, 25-pin, male-to-male cable to connect the terminal to the modem (Only pins
2, 3, and 7 are used.)
-
2- or 4-wire modular telephone cord to connect the modem to the telephone line
(usually supplied with the modem)
-
110-Vac power receptacle (230 Vac in Europe) for modem power
-
110-Vac power receptacle (230 Vac in Europe) for the terminal
-
Telephone line with RJ11 jack
The terminal should be a Wyse 55ES; however, any terminal that emulates the Wyse 50
can be used as a remote terminal.
The server also supports HP700/43, DEC VT100/VT102/VT220 and AT&T 4425/5425
terminals. Most terminal-emulation programs also support terminal emulation for the the
DEC VT100 family. Only connections to the Wyse 55ES are described here. Before using
a VT100 emulation, set the terminal type on the server for the DEC VT102.
