Communications

This terminal is equipped with three communications ports. The two serial ports are intended for connection to either a host (or modem), an alternate input device such as a scanner, or a serial printer. (The EIA port has both an RJ45 and a DB25 interface; either, but not both, can be used.) The last port is a Centronics-compatible printer port which could be used with a parallel printer or other output device (such as a cash drawer) connected to a parallel interface. The port you use as the printer port depends on whether you have a serial or a parallel interface to the printer. Another factor affecting your port selection is whether the terminal is being used in a single or dual host environment.

Either “EIA” serial port (DB25 or RJ45) can communicate with your computer or printer at a baud rate of 110 to 115,200 baud (bits pe baud to 38,400 baud. Any of these ports can be used to connect to a host computer/modem or serial printer.

Receive Flow Control

Because devices can receive data faster than they can process it, data flow control (selectable in the PORTS menu of Setup) should be used to prevent data loss. Software flow control relies on the Xon and Xoff characters (“g” and “e” characters in PC-Term mode) to indicate when the terminal is able or unable to store further data. The Xon signal transmits the DC1 character (11h) and the Xoff signal transmits DC3 (13h).

This terminal has a receive buffer capable of holding 256 bytes (or characters). When the buffer becomes half full (128 bytes), a character, indicating to the host that it should stop transmitting data. The terminal will then continue to process data until its receive buffer holds only 32 bytes. It will then issue an Xon character to the host, indicating that it can resume sending data to the terminal.

nd “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” in the Setup menu for PORTS is “Xon-Xoff,” the terminal issues an Xoff

econd). The second host/printer serial “Aux” port can communicate at speeds from 110

r s

If the “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” is “No Protocol” in Setup, the terminal will continue to accept characters into its receive buffer until it is full. Additional characters will be lost. Xon-Xoff protocol must also be set on the host computer or printer for proper handshaking.

In addition to software “receive” flow control (Xon-Xoff), the serial host/printer ports support “receive” hardware flow control. The EIA ports have an outgoing DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal. If the DTR signal on the terminal is low and “EIA Recv” is “DTR” in Setup, then the serial device will stop sending to the terminal. On the AUX port, the incoming DSR (Data Set Ready) signal serves to signal the device that the terminal is not ready to receive more data, if “Aux Recv” is “DSR” in Setup.

Transmit Flow Control

Likewise, the terminal will understand the Xon and Xoff requests from the host when it is transmitting data (provided the “EIA (or Aux) Xmt” is “Xon-Xoff” in Setup). This is referred to as “transmit” flow control.

This terminal will stop transmitting data to the host or printer when it receives an Xoff (DC3) code. If, however, the terminal needs to send a receive protocol character, it will transmit that character even if it has received an Xoff code. When the terminal stops transmitting, the data will be buffered in the transmit buffer (64 characters for the first host/printer port and 64 characters for the second host/printer port).

Once the buffer is full, additional keyboard data will be lost. When an Xon (DC1) character is received, the terminal can

In addition to software “transmit” flow control (Xon-Xoff), the serial host/printer ports support “transmit” hardware flow control, whereby DSR on the EIA port and DTR on the AUX port monitor serial devices to control the flow of data to them (provided EIA and AUX Xmit is “DSR” and “DTR” in Setup).

For parallel printers, this terminal monitors the BUSY and ERROR signals which are sent by the printer to det

ermine when data transmission should be stopped or resumed.

again send data to the attached serial device.

Host/Printer Port 1 (DB25)

This port, labeled “EIA,” located to the left of the video port, is designed for connection to the host (computer or modem) or a serial printer via a 25-pin D-shell (DB25P) female connector. This port uses an RS-232-C communication interface, is configured as a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device, and can operate from 110 to 115,200 baud. The pins supported are shown below.

Refer to the Installation chapter for details on the connection of the DB25 EIA port or the RJ45 EIA port to serial devices (hosts, modems, or printers).

The optional RS-422 and current loop communications interface is only available for this DB25 EIA port.

Host/Printer Port 1 (RJ45)

This port, labeled “EIA,” located to the right of the “Aux” port, is designed to connect to a host (computer or modem) or a serial printer and can operate from 110 to 115,200 baud. This port also uses an RS-232-C interface via an RJ45 female connector and is configured as a DTE device.

Video Port (DB15)

The port labeled “Video” is designed to connect to the VGA monochrome or color monitor. The interface is a 15-pin, D-shell female connector. The pin assignments for this port are shown below.

Keyboard Ports (Mini-din or RJ11)

There are two keyboard connector ports provided. Only one keyboard should be connected at one time. The PC 101-key and ANSI keyboards will connect to the RJ11 or the mini-din interface, depending on the type of cable used. The Compact PC 101-key keyboard will connect to the mini-din port.

Host/Printer Port 2

This port, labeled “Aux,” is designed to connect to a second host connection (computer or modem), a scanner or other input device, or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 38,400 baud. This port also uses an RS-232C interface via an RJ45 female connector and is configured as a DCE device.

Parallel Printer Port

This port, labeled “Parallel” is designed for connection to a parallel printer, which has a Centronics interface with a 25-pin D-shell female connector. This port, unlike the others, is a uni-directional device, which means that it only serves to output data to the printer, and cannot receive. The pins and signals supported are shown below.

If you have opted to use a parallel printer, but it is not connected, an error message will appear on the status line when any PRINT operation is done. To clear the message, press Ctrl-Shift-Tab.

Terminal To Modem (or DCE Host)

Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the AUX serial port to a modem or a DCE host. The EIA port will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DTE device.

Terminal To Host (DTE) OR Printer

Refer to the diagram below to understand why a null modem adapter may be needed when connecting the EIA serial port to a serial printer or a host port without a modem (most hosts and serial printers are DTE devices). The AUX port will connect directly without a null modem since it is a DCE device.

This terminal offers a variety of screen lengths including 26, 44, or 49 lines. These numbers include the top and bottom status lines (or label line), as well as the lines used to display data. A “page” of terminal memory represents the total number of lines that can be accessed, whether or not they are all viewable on the screen at once. Refer to Appendix A for the number and lengths of pages available for your set-up.

The page length is comprised of a base page length multiplied by 1,2,4 or 8. For instance, in certain modes, 24 (24*1), 48 (24 x 2), and 96 (24 x 4) are av The base page length and the screen size determine whether a bottom status line or label line is displayed or not.

Bottom Status/Label Line Display

With a screen length of “26 lines,” the page lengths that are multiples of 24 allow the bottom status/label line to be displayed, while those that are multiples of 25 do not. The same idea applies with the 44 line screen size. A page length with 42 lines as a base page size will display a label line, while the 43 line base page length will not. An exception to this rule is if the screen length is significantly larger than the base page size, then the label line will be displayed, such as if the screen is 44 lines and the page length is a multiple of 25.

The figure below represents the entire page memory of a 48 line page (24 base page length times a multiplier of

ailable, the same way that 25(25 x 1), 50 (25 x 2), and 100 (25 x 4) are.

Visual Effects Of Screen And Page Lengths

The combination of page and screen lengths influence the number of displayable data lines. For example, if the page length is “50" (25 x 2), and the screen length is 44 lines, the number of data lines that are visible at any one time is 43, with no label line. The other line is used for the top status line. On a 49 line screen, 48 of the 50 data lines are visible at one time.

If the page length is shorter than the screen length, then blank lines will be present below the data line or status/label l rows to be out of view. In order to bring them into view, “scrolling” or “panning” is used, as necessary. Scrolling causes a new line to scroll into view when the cursor advances past the last row or first row on the page. If the page is scrolled down, the top row of text is lost, and if scrolled up, the bottom row of text is lost (if Auto Scroll is “on” in Setup). Text scrolled off of the screen is not recoverable.

If the current page or portion of the page is longer than the screen display or window in which it is displayed, then local k up, the page appears to be moving down and the opposite is true when panning the window down. Text that is panned off the screen is out of view, but is not lost.

Installation

This section provides a “walk-through” approach to the installation of your terminal. This will enable you to physically connect the terminal to a printer, one or two host computers/modems, scanner or another input device. If necessary, you will also be able to configure the Setup menu to suit your requirements and preferences.

The terminal is designed to provide great configuration flexibility. An example of this flexibility is that either the

A or Aux port can be used to connect either to a host, another input device, or a printer. In addition, a

EI physical port can be assigned as the Host in one session and as a Printer in the other session, if desired. In another case, data can potentially be “printed” from one session to the other. Data can be directed to the host through multiple ports, which applies when both a bar code reader and a host are attached.

The procedures described here are among the most common: conventional single and dual host setups, with or without a printer. T

hese steps may need to be modified to meet your requirements.

Step 1 - Physical Connections

The first step in our installation process will be to physically connect your devices to the terminal. Depending on the types of serial interfaces of your devices, you may need one or more “null modem” adapters to communicate properly.

First, refer to the Common Set-Up diagrams on page 21. If one of these setups matches your needs, then make the connections as shown in the diagrams by referring to the Host/Printer Connection Guide on page 19. Otherwis

The Common Set-Up diagrams on page 21 show some examples of how various devices may be connected.

e, choose the connections in the Host/Printer Connection Guide that are appropriate.

Step 2 - Number Of Sessions

This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the terminal for single or dual session mode.

If you’ve connected two host cables (steps 9A or 9C and 9B or 9D), and you wish to run in “dual session” m enter Setup and set “Sessions=Two” in the Quick (F1) menu. For single host operation, this setting should already b

e set at “One” since this is in the default state.

Step 3 - Link Ports To Sessions

If you have selected “Sessions”=One, then you can skip to Step 4. If you have selected “Sessions”=Two, there are four designations to make. This step will be used later in Step 7.

First, you have to decide which serial port will be assigned to your first host in Session 1 (either EIA, Aux, or None). Now, decide which port will be used for your second host in Session 2 (EIA, Aux, or None). The same port

shouldn’t be used as the host port for both sessions. Also, both EIA ports cannot be used at the same time, or data loss may occur. Similarly, both keyboard ports cannot be used at the same time. Then,

determine which port will be used as the printer port in Session 1 (EIA, Aux, Parallel, None). Do the same for the printer option in Session 2. It is not general practice to assign the host port in one session as the printer port in another session, but this can be done if desired.

ode,

Step 4 - No Printer Option

If you did not opt to install a printer (do not complete steps 9E, 9F, 9G, or 9H), you must set the Printer portion of the Host/Printer selection in the Quick (F1) Setup menu to “None.” Choose the combination of Host/Printer that properly

For example, if the EIA port is connected to the host or modem, the setting would be “EIA/None.” If you are running in dual session m Session 2, pr

represents which terminal port you are connecting the host to, and “None” as the printer.

ode, press Ctrl-Enter (kpd). Now, set the Printer portion of Host/Printer to “None” in

eserving the current Host setting.

Step 5 - Determine Your Serial Port(s) Protocol

Consult your system administrator to find out the communication settings on all the serial devices you’ve connected to, including EIA (or Aux) baud, data bits, stop bits, parity, parity checking on/off, Xmt & Rcv flow control protocol. This could include one or two hosts/modems, a scanner, a serial printer, etc. Record this information on the User Settings chart on page

22 for reference in Step 9.

Step 6 - Alternate Input Data Setup Selection

In single session mode only, this terminal has the option to receive data from the non-host serial port and will send the data to the host port. By default, this feature will be enabled. In Setup, “Alt Input Data” = “On” in the Host (

F7) menu.

To disable this option, select “Off” for this parameter. If you are using a serial printer, this option is not available

Step 7 - Host/Printer Setup Selection

Recall the port/session designations made in Step 3. Now, enter the Setup menu (Ctrl-Scroll Lock) and set the “Host/Printer” selection in the Quick (F1) menu to the proper host and printer ports for session one. If an alternate input device is being connected (such as a scanner), the non-host serial port will be used as the second input port in the session (See Step 6).

If you are running in dual session mode, press Ctrl-Enter (kpd), and set the “Host/Printer” selection in the Quick (F1) menu to the proper host and printer ports for Session two.

Only one session can access the parallel printer at one time. If a print mode (Aux on, etc.) is on in both sessions, an error message will appear. To disable a print mode in a session, press Shift-Scroll Lock.

Step 8 - Modem Control Setup Selection

If you are using a modem on either serial communications port, enter Setup and set the “(EIA) Aux Modem Control” parameter to “On” for the port(s) to ensure that proper handshaking occurs.

Step 9 - Communications Protocol Settings

Recall the information recorded in Step 5 of this Installation procedure. In the Ports (F6) menu, set the proper communications settings for the ports that you are using. These parameters include (EIA and/or Aux) Baud, Data Format, Parity Check, Recv, Xmt. See the Setup chapter for more information on the individual settings.

Now recall the letters next to the connections that you made in Step 1. Also, you must be aware of the port/session de

The procedures below correspond directly to the individual connections made. Notice that only certain connection procedures are to be followed, not all of them. For example, if you have made connections “9C” and “9F”, to a modem and a serial printer, then follow only connection procedures “9C” and “9F” below.

Step 10 - Emulation Setup Selection

This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the “Emulation” for one or two sessions of the terminal. Determine which emulations your applications run with.

Enter the Setup menu and set the “Emulation” parameter, in the Quick (F1) menu, to match your requirements. If you are running in dual session mode, press Ctrl-Enter (kpd). Now, set the “Emulation” parameter in Session 2.

Step 11 - Additional Setup Options

At this point, you should proceed to the Setup chapter and continue to set up your own selections for any other parameters such as those for the display, keyboard, function/edit keys and tabs.

Remember to repeat this procedure for Session 2 if you are running in dual session mode. Use Ctrl-Enter (kpd) to access this s

et of parameters.

Step 12 - Save Parameters

Finally, remember to save your Setup parameters in permanent memory, so that they can be recovered if the terminal is powered down. When you exit the Setup menu, the prompt “Save all? (Y/N)” flashes. To save parameters, press “Y.” Another way to save parameters is to perform a “Save Terminal” operation, while in the Exec (Prt Sc) menu of Setup. Both methods will save the parameters in both sessions, as well as those that are common to both.

Remember to save your Setup settings after the entire installation process.

Step 13 - Establish Communications

Setup

The Setup menu is your control panel for this terminal. It permits you to configure the terminal to communicate with the host computer as well as to suit your personal preferences.

Overview

The Setup menus have been designed to allow maximum flexibility with a minimum investment of time. Thirteen menus provide you with the flexibility and the features below contribute to ease of use:

 The Quick menu is the first screen upon entry. It contains the parameters critical to the operation of the

terminal with the host.

 Function keys permit easy access to any menu. The function keys are labeled at the top of every menu.  Setup is “smart.” That is, it provides only the options that are valid for the hardware and current emulation.  Keystrokes and Help Messages are at the bottom of every menu.  Valid choices

the “EXEC” menu. These keys are always active within Setup. The keys are labeled at the top of each menu. Cursor control keys ( ↑←↓→) -

highlighted selection bar. This selection bar will wrap to the other side of the menu at the top, bottom and side boundaries. For each parameter, there are at least two choices. As the parameter is highlighted, the available choices appear in the area above the help bar.

Some parameters are action fields and have no choices. See the Action Fields section below.

 Enter and Shift-Enter - Cycle “up” or “down” through the choices for a given parameter.

The following keystrokes are also available but are not documented in the Setup help bar.

 Tab and Shift-Tab - Move from menu to menu forward or backward without using function keys.  Space and Shift-Space - Cycle through the list of choices. Same as Enter and Shift-Enter.

Parameters are changed and executed as soon as that field is exited. Page resets may occur when certain choices are made in Setup, and the screen will temporarily become blank while the terminal processes.

These keys control movement to parameters within the menu and is indicated by a

Action Fields

Certain parameters are not selections but action fields. When the action field is highlighted and then selected, the action is taken. A “WAIT” message may appear at the top right portion of the screen, and when the action is completed, a “DONE” message will appear. These messages are cleared when the selection bar is placed on another parameter.

Dual Session Mode

There are two “sets” of “session” setup parameters, if you are using the terminal in dual session mode. To toggle between sessions while in or out of setup mode, press Ctrl-Enter (kpd). For a complete explanation of sessiondep
