5. RS-232 TERMINAL COMMUNICATION
Terminal Emulation Setup
If you are using a terminal emulation software (such as PROCOMM) to
communicate with the CFR, use the following setup:
Emulation Type: VT100 or compatible
Duplex Mode: Half Duplex
Xon/Xoff Flow Control: SID: ON, IID: OFF
RTS/CTS Flow Control: SID: OFF, IID: ON
Line Wrap: ON
Screen Scroll: ON
CR Translation: CR
Back-Space: N/A (See NOTE 1)
Break Length: N/A
Inquiry: N/A
NOTE 1: Back-Space and Delete characters are ignored by the CFR. To
correct a miss-typed command, you should press Enter and type the
command again.

RS-232 Cable Diagrams
The RS-232 port on the CFR follows the Data Communication
Equipment (DCE) pinout. To connect this port to a terminal or a host
computer (which uses a DTE pinout) you need a standard off-the-shelf
(straight through) RS-232 cable. Depending on your computer, you need a
“
9 to 9 serial cable” or a “9 to 25 serial cable”. However, if you decide to
make you own cable, see Figure 12. This Figure shows the cable that works
with both SID and IID. If your CFR has a SID interface, then you do not
have to wire up the RTS and CTS signals.
