Connecting the First Alternate Host via Serial
The 5250 OPTIMAs first serial connection to an alternate host device
should be made through SERIAL I/O PORT 0. This port has a DB-25,
DCE-standard pin-out, and may be connected to an alternate host device
using a standard serial cable. This cable is available as an option from
AGILE.
To connect SERIAL I/O PORT 0 to an alternate host device:
1. Insert one end of the serial printer cable into the connector on the
rear of the alternate host device. Both ends of the cable are the
same, so either end may be used.
2. Tighten the thumbscrews until the connection is firm, but do not
overtighten.
