CONNECTION OF OLDER STYLE EQUIPMENT

INCLUDING 1010 VDU’s and MT88 & NDR8820 PRINTER
  1. INTRODUCTION
    Recently problems have been experienced connecting older style peripherals via a Specialix I/O8+ in an S20 system; running Unix SVR4 03.02 and Univision. The equipment concerned was a 1010 VDU, an MT88 & an NDR8820 printer. This FECO lists what can and can not be connected to the above, and the configuration required.
  2. Please note, only those items currently approved can be connected. ALL other items are to be evaluated prior to any customer being told that it will function, and allowed to be connected.
  3. In all cases the resolution uses the standard issued cable specs of;
    Cable Type FL Specialix I/O8+ to conversion cable
    Cable Type FM Conversion Cable to VDU/Printer.
  4. VDU
    The following DO function correctly and approved for use:- NCR 2020 NCR 4000
    The following DOESNOT function correctly and should not be used NCR 1010.
  5. MT88 PRINTER
    The MT88 Printer requires being reset and the system reset through sysadm Univision Applications, to 9600 7 EVEN with XON/XOFF flow control. The revised MT88 switch settings are listed below.

  7. The above would enable the customer to operate the VDU and printers connected to an I/O8+ on an S20 running SVR4 03.02. and Univision.
  8. It It is the responsibility of the Customer Services Supervisor to ensure that ALL non approved peripherals are evaluated and approved; prior to any customer being told that they will function, and allowed to be connected to the I/O8+.
