If you cannot establish a connection to the ETCHx by means of the described
procedure, proceed as follows:

1. Check the cabling between PC and ETCHx.

2. Check the connection parameters of the terminal program.

A first test of the cable connection can be performed by means of a bridge
between the pins 2 and 3 at the socket of the cable (control system side):

ƒ Afterwards, the terminal program is called as usual and any letters can

be entered via the keyboard.

ƒ If the entered characters of the keyboard are correctly displayed in the

mask of the terminal program (the characters are sent back by the
bridge as echo), the cable must be checked for exchanged pins (pin2/3),
for short circuit and the connection must be checked for correct
parameter setting.
