Basically, the cable must connect input signals (e.g., Receive
Data) on the TROY XCD print server to the equivalent
output signals (e.g., Transmit Data) on the device and vice-
versa.
If you are connecting a printer to the second serial port (S2)
on the XConnect 100, you must first disable console mode on
that port. This is done by using the console command
SET
PORT S2 CONSOLE DISABLED
and then typing the command
EXIT
to exit the console (refer to Chapter 3 and Appendix A
for information on using the console). To re-enable the
console function, you must either enter the command
SET
PORT S2 CONSOLE ENABLED
using TELNET, DEC MOP or
the TROY XCD XCONFIG NetWare utility, or reset the unit
back to factory defaults.
