HP 24SII - Manual (Page 20)

  

This section provides basic installation instructions for persons
knowledgeable in the area of computer equipment installation. In this
section, we assume that the Model 24SII DES has never been
configured (i.e., all settings are factory default values). We will refer
to specific sections in this manual for more in-depth instructions on
installation, operation, and configuration. Please use the following
procedure:
Step Instructions/Application Questions Action/Special Instructions
1 Determine how many and what type of
modules are installed on the Model 24SII
DES. Identify which modules are serial
and which modules are parallel. Serial
modules are labeled as "232" or "422"
and parallel modules are labeled as
"PAR" on the back. Proceed to Step 2.
2 Determine which ports on the Model
24SII DES your devices will be
connected to (parallel or serial). Also
determine the necessary Port
Designations on the Model 24SII DES
(computer or printer). Computers and
modems connect to ports designated as
computer ports. Printers and plotters
connect to ports designated as printer
ports. Proceed to Step 3.
3 Does your application call for printer or
plotter sharing between multiple
computers and just one printer or plotter? If no, proceed to Step 5.
If yes, proceed to Step 4.
4 Will your single printer or plotter connect
to the Model 24SII DES in serial? If no, proceed to Step 6.
If yes, there is no need to reconfigure any
Port Designations on the Model 24SII
DES. You will connect your serial printer
or plotter to Port 2 of Module 1. Proceed
to Step 7.
5 For multiple printer/plotter applications,
you will need to access configuration
mode and change the Port Designation
of the ports to which your printers and/or
plotters will connect from computer ports
to printer ports. Port 2 of Module 1 is the factory
designated printer port. This is a serial
port. If you have any serial printers or
plotters, you may connect one of them to
this port. If you do not have a serial
printer or plotter, you will need to
reconfigure the Port Designation for Port
2 of Module 1 to a computer port.
Proceed to Step 7.
6 If your application calls for multiple
computers sharing just one parallel Proceed to Step 7.
