The adapter provides 802.3 Ethernet connectivity, TCP/IP host
connectivity, and Telnet application connectivity.

Configuring The Terminal

In order for the adapter to function successfully, the terminal
should be configured as follows:
Data Format

8 data bits
1 stop bit
No parity

EIA Baud Rate

38400

EIA Communication Protocol

None
Xon/Xoff
DTR/DSR
Both

This setting should match the Comm Protocol setting of the
adapter (see page 9). If the adapter’s Comm Protocol is set to
None, the terminal could lose data.

Emulation

This adapter works with all the standard terminal
emulations. However, the host emulation should match the
terminal emulation.

For example, a user logs on to a UNIX system, and selects
the host emulation to be AT386 (using the command
TERM=AT386 <CR> followed by set TERM<CR>). At this point,
the user must make sure that the terminal emulation is also
set to AT386 (by entering the terminal setup and checking
the emulation parameter).

A terminal in PC-Term emulation with Scan Code mode on, can
not navigate the adapter setup menu. Change the key mode to
ASCII or change the terminal emulation to other than PC-
