EL T320 Installation and Users Guide
This chapter introduces you to the ELT320 Flat Panel Video Display Terminal and
includes a short description to some general features and operating modes.
The ELT320 is an alphanumeric video terminal which is functionally compatible
with the DEC VT320 terolinal and also includes numerous additional advanced
features. This terminal can operate on-line to a host system or the host can be put
on hold sending your input into page memory of the teIminal. The terminal stores
data received from the host, until you put it back on-line. As is the case with any
other emulator, the ELT320 has some minor variances. If you would like more
information, call Planar Applications Engineering and ask for the EL T320
Compatibility Applications note.
The features listed below will be described in detail in the following chapters.
GENERAL FEATURES
The ELT320 is compatible with Digital's Vf320 terminal and also offers additional
new features.
SET-UP
You can select operating features from the
keyboard using set-up screens for various
functions, like display, printer, tabs and
communications.
Electroluminescent flat panel
Page Memory
Status Line
The screen will display 25 lines X 80 columns
with yellow characters on a jet black
background or black characters on a yellow
background.
You can store up to 19,008 characters in 1 to
6 pages 4)f internal memory .
This line of text at the bottom of the screen
displays the operating status of the ELT320.
PLANAR
Local Editing
The EL T320 stores your typed characters
before sending them to the host system. Your
application must support this feature.
Selective Erase Capability
5 Character Sets
You can erase part or all of a line of text with
this feature.
Each character set contains 94 characters
including DEC Technical and ISO Latin
characters.
High Speed Communications
The EL T320 can communicate with its Host at
up to 38.4 Kbits per second. The transmit and
receive rates are independently
programmable.
Mounting Options
Several different mountings are available for
the ELT320.
Keyboard
Note:
For complete technical details see Technical Specifi<:ations in Chapter 7 in
this users guide.
LK-401 compatlble keyboard. See Chapter 6.

Unpacking
Remove the temlinal carefully from the container. Save all packing material in case
the terminal must be shipped again. After unpacking, check whether the terminal
is damaged. Immediately notify the shipping company if damage has occurred.
Operating Environment
EL 1320 Installation and Users Guide
The EL T320 can be operated in the usual office environment and does not require
special air-conditioning.
Mounting Options
The ELT320 is available with several options for supporting the tenninal. The Desk
Stand has a small 7" x 9" (18 cm x 23cm) foot print. The Moveable Ann suspends
the terminal above other items you may have on your work surface. The unique
wall mount provides a convenient way to locate full terminal functionality right at
the point of data collection. Extending less than 5 inches from the wall, the ELT320
is housed out of the way and is immediately accessible when needed.
Detailed instructions for adapting the terminal to your work space are included
with the mounting option.

Installation of the EL 1320 terminal
Place the terminal unit at the work station.
?
Check to see if the terminal is switched off (press the BO1TOM of the
power switch, found on the rear of the tenninal.)
Connect the power module to the terminal power connector.

Connect the keyboard cable to its receptacle on the back of the terminal
5.
unit.
Connect the host computer communication cable to the appropriate HOST
6.
port. Check the proper connector pin assignment See Chapter 7 the
Technical Specifications for host connector details.
7 Connect a printer communication cable, if required, to the PRImER port.
Note: This cable is not supplied with the ELT320 terminal.
Turn the terminal power switch on (press the top of the power switch.)
8.
Make sure that the yellow power indicator is on.
9.
Listen for a bell tone from the keyboard.
10.
After the power-on self test, the "ELT320 OK" message appears on the
11.
screen. Press F3 to see the Set-Up Menu or any other key to clear the
screen and obtain a cursor.
If you have problems, see "Problem Solving" at the end of this chapter.
12.
Connection to Host Computer
The EL T320 can be connected to the host computer through the HOST connector.
The HOST 9 pin D type connector is an RS-232-C interface.
The HOST 6 pin DEC type connector is an RS-423 interface.
The RS-232-C connection can be made directly to the host or through a MODEM or
t
terminal selVer to host.
Communication parameters can be selected in Set-Up. (See Chapter 4 in this
Manual.)
Getting Started
When you install your ELT320 all operating features are set to their factory-default
settings. This setting works with most computer systems. If you have to set some
features to match your host system, see Chapter 4 -Set-up.
To connect the terminal to your host system you must have the following properly
set:
.The host port selected for use.The keyboard language.
.The baud rate and character fonnat.
.The emulation type.
Brightness Control
The brightness control is a thumbwheellocated at the bottom edge of the face of
the terminal. The control adjusts the display's brightness level from full bright to
half bright This range allows the user to change the brightness to compensate for
environmental light levels. Clockwise rotation increases the display brightness.
When the brightness is reduced, contrast is diminished.
Note: Some units do not have brightness controls.
Power On Indicator
When the EL T320 Power Switch has been pressed to the On position, a yellow
LED indicates the 12V power supply is on.

Cleaning
Before cleaning, turn off the tenninal and disconnect the power. The tenninal unit
and the keyboard can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a inild cleaner. To clean
the screen use a clean, soft cloth and a high quality glass cleaner.

The keyboards have four groups of keys, two visual indicators and one audible
indicator.
The key groups:
.Main keypad

in the keyboard Set-Up screen to "Shift Lock", the lock
key makes all keys send the top character on the key.
The Shift key has three functions.
.Holding down shift and pressing an alphanumeric key
sends the uppercase (or top) character on the key.
.With some special function keys -Shift starts a
predefmed control function.
.With a User-Defined Key Shift sends a UDK function.

characters. You can select typewriter or data processing character with the
