Connecting the RPSD Lock to the Administration
Terminal or Printer
You connect the RPSD Lock to the terminal or printer via the Lock’s AUX. PORT
on the back of the Lock and the RS-232 port on the terminal or printer. See Table
2-2 for the pinouts for the AUX. PORT connection. You need the following
hardware components to connect the RPSD Lock to the administration terminal
or printer:
■
RPSD Lock
■
Administration terminal or printer (printer is optional but recommended)
■
DB9/DB25 cable
■
RS-232 cable with a DB25 connector on one end and the appropriate
connector for the serial printer or administration terminal on the other end
NOTE:
NOTE:
Install an A/B switch if you are going to connect both a terminal and a
printer. This enables the administrator to change equipment without the
trouble of disconnecting and reconnecting the plugs. Follow the directions
for connecting a terminal to the AUX. PORT to install the A/B switch.
To connect the RPSD Lock to the administration terminal or printer, follow these
steps (see
Figure 2-4
):
1. Connect the DB9 end of the DB9/DB25 cable supplied with the Lock to the
AUX. PORT on the back of the RPSD Lock.
2. Connect the DB25 connector of the RS-232 cable to the DB9/DB25 cable
supplied with the Lock.
3. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the terminal or printer. Be
sure this end of the RS-232 cable matches the pin descriptions in
Table
2-2
.
NOTE:
NOTE:
If the administration terminal or printer has a DB9 connector on its RS-232
port, you can use a straight RS-232 cable with DB9 connectors without the
DB9/DB25 cable.
