<H3 ID="S2.1.1">Site Considerations</H3>
|
|
<P>The design of the VT100 terminal (<A HREF="figure2-1.html">Figure 2-1</A>) will normally pose few constraints
|
|
on selecting a place in which to install the terminal. In most cases, any environment
|
|
suitable to the terminal operator will be a satisfactory environment in which
|
|
to operate the terminal. Extremes of temperature and humidity should be avoided.
|
|
A summary of VT100 guaranteed operating conditions is found at the end of this
|
|
section.</P>
|
|
<H3 ID="S2.1.2">Unpacking and Maintenance</H3>
|
|
<P>The VT100 shipping carton contains the following items:</P>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>VT100 monitor</LI>
|
|
<LI>VT100 detached keyboard</LI>

<LI>VT100 power cord</LI>

|
|
<LI>VT100 User's Guide</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>To install the VT100 perform the following steps:</P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Remove the VT100 from the shipping carton and place it in the desired
|
|
work area.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Place the keyboard in front of the terminal and plug the keyboard coiled
|
|
cord into the keyboard receptacle located on the rear of the terminal
|
|
(<A HREF="figure2-2.html">Figure 2-2</A>).</LI>
|
|
<LI>Verify that the power selector switch shows the correct wall outlet
|
|
voltage (115 V is standard in the U.S.) and the power switch is off.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Connect the power cord to the power cord receptacle on the rear of the
|
|
terminal and plug the other end of the power cord into a nearby wall
|
|
outlet.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Connect the communications cable to the appropriate communications
|
|
receptacle.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Turn the power switch on. The terminal will now automatically perform
|
|
the power-up self-test and either the ON LINE or LOCAL light located
|
|
on the keyboard will be turned on. After approximately one minute the
|
|
cursor will be visible in the upper-left corner of the screen. If any other
|
|
indication is shown, refer to Part 5 of the operator information chapter.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Set the desired SET-UP features as outlined in the operator's section of
|
|
this manual.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Once the installation setup procedure is complete, record the SET-UP
|
|
features selected on the VT100 SET-UP label and attach the label to
|
|
the underside of the keyboard.</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<H3 ID="S2.1.3">User Maintenance</H3>
|
|
<P>The keyboard keys are the only moving parts of the terminal and require no preventive
|
|
maintenance by the owner. The VT100 surfaces may be cleaned with soap
|
|
and water or any mild detergent. Cleaners with solvents should not be used.</P>
|
|
<P>The VT100 packaging is not meant to be weatherproof; there are several openings
|
|
in the case through which liquids, coins, paper clips, and other objects can fall.
|
|
Such objects would disturb the electronic operation of the terminal if they came
|
|
into contact with the circuitry. For this reason, avoid putting drinks and metal
|
|
objects on the top of the terminal, or using excessive water to clean the terminal.
|
|
Rubbing the keys with a dry or barely moist cloth should suffice to clean them. Do
|
|
not remove the keycaps to clean them more thoroughly; damage may result to the
|
|
switch contacts if they are replaced incorrectly.</P>
|
|
<P>Keep the ventilation slots clear. Blocking these slots by placing objects on top of or
|
|
under the VT100 may cause the terminal to overheat.</P>
|
|
<H2 ID="S2.2">Interface Information</H2>
|
|
<H3 ID="S2.2.1">EIA Interface</H3>
|
|
<P>The basic VT100 operates on full duplex, asynchronous communication lines. The
|
|
terminal interfaces to the line with a 25-pin connector mounted on the back of the
|
|
terminal which meets the requirements of EIA specification RS-232-C. <A HREF="table2-1.html">Table 2-1</A>
|
|
summarizes the EIA connector signals; the following paragraphs explain each signal
|
|
as used in the basic VT100.</P>

<H3 ID="S2.2.2">Optional 20 mA Current Loop Interface</H3>
|
|
<P>In most current loop applications, the VT100 will be connected in a passive configuration
|
|
-- that is, current is supplied to the VT100. In this mode, the transmitter
|
|
and receiver are both passive, both optically isolated, and the transmitter goes to
|
|
the mark state when power is turned off.</P>
|
|
<P>Conversion from active to passive (or vice versa) requires moving a slide switch.</P>
|
|
<P>In active mode either the transmitter or the receiver or both may be connected so
|
|
that the VT100 sources the 20 mA of current. In active mode isolation is not
|
|
present and the transmitter will go to the space state when power to the VT100 is
|
|
turned off.</P>

<H3 ID="S2.2.3">External Video Connections</H3>
|
|
<P>In addition to the EIA interface, the VT100 is also capable of easily interfacing to
|
|
external video devices. The video devices may act either as a slave to the VT100
|
|
when connected to the composite video output or provide synchronized video to
|
|
the VT100 video section when connected to the video input. The external video
|
|
connectors are the two female BNC connectors located on the back of the terminal
|
|
just below the EIA connector. The upper connector, J8, is the video input while the
|
|
lower connector, J9, is the video output.</P>
|
|
<P><STRONG>Composite Video Output (J9)</STRONG><BR>
|
|
The composite video output provides RS170-like output (see note) generated by
|
|
combining the video signal with a composite sync signal. This output contains all
|
|
video data appearing on the VT100 screen except that video which comes from
|
|
J8. The output has the following nominal characteristics. (Refer to <A HREF="figure2-4.html">Figure 2-4</A>).</P>
