double-click the SYNRUN.SYN file to open it in Notepad or another text editor.

2. If you are using any P1220 or P1550 terminals with external (i.e., pole mount) 2x20
displays, add the following lines to SYNRUN.SYN:

CPSIO2=WN
SYNCOM2=F8n1

3. If you are using any P1220 terminals with built-in (POS mount) 2x20 displays, add
the following lines to SYNRUN.SYN:

CPSIO5=WN
SYNCOM5=T8n1

4. If you are using P1520 terminals with external (pole mount) or built-in (POS mount)
2x20 display, add the following lines to SYNRUN.SYN:

CPSIO4=WN
SYNCOM4=F8n1

5. Save the modified SYNRUN.SYN file, and then close your text editor.
