Connecting Terminals
The Serial Parallel Controller supports SBus-based SPARCsystems, as well as
most popular ASCII-based terminals, such as Wyse-compatible terminals.
To connect a terminal:
1. Set up your terminal for operation.
2. Set the power switch on your terminal to the Off position.
3. Connect one end of the null modem cable to the serial port on the
terminal.
The serial port on a Wyse-compatible terminal requires a male connector.
For more information about null modem cables, see Appendix C.
4. Connect the other end of the null modem cable to one of the eight serial
ports on the patch panel.
