TERMINAL COMMUNICATIONS
The VP 300 is designed to work with any ASCII, Send/Receive serial terminal/teleprinter that meets EIA
RS-232C specifications.
■
Terminal/Teleprinter Installation
It is recommended that the maximum distance between the terminal and the VP 300 be no greater than
50 feet, the length of a standard RS-232C cable.
The VP 300 uses even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, and X-ON/X-OFF protocol.
■

Connect the terminal/teleprinter to the system terminal port. Two connections to the system terminal
port allow for convenient access — the front connection (SP1) for temporary access, and the rear
connection (J1) for permanent access. Toshiba recommends that the terminal/teleprinter have the
capability to make a hard-copy printout.
