Quick Start Guide

The C1099A represents Hewlett-Packard’s latest
terminal for HP9000 and HP3000 systems. It can
be used as the system console or as a user data
entry station. C1099A can emulate HPTerm, and
industry standard ASCII and ANSI terminals. It
uses a standard PC-type keyboard and features a
clock, calendar, calculator, ASCII chart, and
diagnostic desk accessories

Setup is easy – with emulation-dependent menus.
The Quick menu presents common terminal
settings for a one step setup.

Installation

This guide covers how to physically connect the terminal to a host computer and a printer, as well as
configure it for common setups.

For more information on setting up your terminal and its options, the User Manual is available on
line at http://www.docs.hp.com/.

Connect the host cable to
the EIA port.

Set the communications
parameters in the Ports (F6)
menu.

Standard datacomm cable
is HP p/n 40242G

Connect the parallel printer
cable to the PAR port.

Set the printing parameters in
the Print (F8) menu.

Standard parallel printer cable
is HP p/n 24542D

Connect the keyboard cable
connector to the terminal, flat
side down.

Plug the power cord into the

terminal and then AC power.

NOTE:

All three ports cannot be assigned simultaneously. Only one datacomm connection can be used at a
time, and only one printer connection can be used at a time.

Default configuration:

Emulation = HPTerm
Comm mode = Character (vs. Block)
Host/Printer = EIA/Para
Baud Rate = 9600
Data Format = 8/1/N.
With these default settings the terminal will function as the system console on all HP9000s and HP3000s.

Reset to defaults:

The factory default is HPTerm emulation. To return to the default settings and reset the terminal, do the
following:

• Go to the setup menu. (Hit F10 and then F8).

• Select the Execute function key (Print/Scrn – SysRq).

• Use the arrow keys and select Default Terminal.

parameter use Enter/shift-Enter. To save a choice for a parameter (such as Baud Rate = 19200),
highlight the choice (e.g. 19200) and then use the arrow keys to jump to any other parameter.
Choices are saved when exiting Setup. (See Saving Parameters below for details)

 Using Additional Setup Options
