Plugging into the Unit
Place the Unit so that it is convenient to power and
communications connections.
Unlock the enclosure door using the keys provided and install
the Operator’s disk into the floppy drive.
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF (0) position and
connect the power cord. Attach the communications cable to
the UPPER DB25F connector (COMM 1).
The Unit has the following physical connections:
1.
POWER
: An IEC 320 power connection accepting
110/220VAC (50/60Hz).
2.
COMM 1 and COMM 2
: RS-232 interface connections.
These connections are DB-25 female pin connectors and
are configured as DTE. A null modem cable quickly
interfaces the Unit to a standard connection on a typical
PC-based host system.
The Unit uses a grounded 3-prong power cable as a safety
feature, which will only connect to a grounded wall
outlet. If the power cable cannot be plugged into the
outlet, contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced.
Do not use an adapter to defeat the grounding feature
.
