' key' on the 10 pin connector faces the outside of
the card. Re fer to Figure 2-1 for connector
location. Connect the DB-9 end to the PC's COM1
or COM 2 port. Y ou may need a 9 pin male to 25
pin fema le adapter . T he VT C-9F is designed to
plug directly into the 9 pin serial port connector on a
P C .
Start up your serial communication program. Set
comm unication par ameter s to 9600 baud , 8 da ta
bits, no parity, 1 stop. If using Microsoft Windows
Ter minal, you may load up ' RPC -210B. trm' file
(located on the applications disk r oot directo ry) to
quickly configure the program. If using
H y p er T e r m in a l, y o u m a y lo a d u p RP C - 2 10 B. H T

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING
PROGRAMS
Downloading program s means transferring them fr om
your PC (or terminal) to the RPC-210. Uploading
means transferring them from the RPC -210 back to the
PC. This section explains how to do both of these
procedures using generalized instructions for terminal
programs (Procomm , Windows Ter minal, etc.)
When uploading or downloading files, select ASCII text
format. XMODEM, YMODEM, or other formats are
not used.
RPBASIC-52 does not know w hen you are typing in a
progr am or if something else (laptop or mainfr ame) is
sending it char acters. The uploa d and dow nload file
does not conta in any special c odes; th ey are sim ply
ASCII cha racters.
Uploading programs is simply a process of receiving an
ASCII file. Y ou or your progr am simply need to send
" L I S T" t o r e c ei ve th e en ti r e p r o gr a m .
