Connecting Terminals
to Domain/OS Systems
You can troubleshoot a Domain Compatible mode system that has display problems
by connecting a terminal to the system SIO line. This appendix provides procedures to
connect the standard field terminal or another node to the system’s SIO line.

The data terminal currently available for field use is a specially modified IXO model
TC301. This device is battery powered with a 1-line, 16-character LCD display. The
terminal communicates at 300 baud only, and is configured as a DCE device. It plugs
into the system, and its attached cable needs no adapters. Use Procedure D-1 to activate
the field terminal.
