Communication with Terminal Program

8.8.1

Data Terminal

If a VideoJet X20 cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is

interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to the VideoJet X20 for initial setup and setting

of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.

You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer

and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VideoJet X20 (see Section 8.7.1 Pin

Assignment, page 116).

HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used

as the terminal program.

1.

Disconnect the VideoJet X20 from the Ethernet network before working with the terminal

program.

2.

Connect the serial interface of the VideoJet X20 using any available serial interface on the

computer.

8.8.2

Configuring the Terminal

Before the terminal program can communicate with the VideoJet X20, the transmission

parameters must be matched. Make the following settings for the terminal program:

19,200 bps

8 data bits

No parity check

1 stop bit

No protocol

8.8.3

Command Inputs

After the connection has been established, you must log onto the VideoJet X20 to access the

main menu. Other submenus and functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.

1.

If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values are not repeated on the

display.

2.

Enter one command at a time.

3.

When you have entered a value (such as an IP address), check the characters you have

entered before pressing Enter to transfer the values to the VideoJet X20.
