Setting Up
1a. Connect one end of the RS-232C serial cable to the serial port
connector on the host. (Serial ports on Sun workstations are usually
labeled Serial Port A or Serial Port. Consult the documentation that
came with the workstation for more information.)
1b. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the programmer’s Remote
port.
2. Set the communication parameters.
Set the communication parameters of the serial port connected to the
programmer as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, full
duplex, and CTS/DTR handshaking.
Note: CTS/DTR (Hardware Handshake) is enabled as the default. If
those signals are not connected, the programmer will communicate
correctly using XON/XOFF (Software Handshake), which is always
used whether or not CTS/DTR handshake is enabled.
After communication is established and the programmer is operating, you
can change the communication parameters to suit your needs. Consult the
operator's manual supplied with the host if you need to change the host's
communication parameters.
The programmer is now connected to your host.
Go to “Install the Base” on page 2-12
Go to “Insert Boot Disk in Programmer” on page 2-11.
Connecting to a Terminal
To connect the programmer to a terminal, you need the following:
� One of the following terminals or one that can emulate one of these
terminal types (refer to the manual that came with your terminal):
� ANSI 3.64 compatible terminals
� DEC VT-100 compatible terminals
� Qume QVT-101 compatible terminals
� TELEVIDEO TVI-910 compatible terminals
� Wyse WY-30 compatible terminals
� An unused RS-232C serial port on the terminal.
� 25-pin serial cable. To build your own cable, see page 2-9.
To operate the programmer in transparent mode, you must also have the
following items:
� An unused RS-232C serial port on the host.
� 25-pin serial cable.
