Making Console, Ethernet, and FDDI Connections 4-3
1. Unpack the VT420 console terminal. The console terminal signal cable
is shipped in the loose piece box and consists of a 17-01364-02 cable
and H8575-A adapter.
2. Connect one end of the 17-01364-02 cable to the connector to the right
of the control panel. Connect one end of the cable ground wire to the
cabinet grounding screw nearby (see Figure 4-2). Connect the other
end of the cable to the H8575-A, which connects to a 25-pin D-
subminiature connector on the console terminal. Connect the other
end of the cable ground wire to one of the screws on the H8575-A.
3. If an LA75 printer is not present, skip this step. Unpack the LA75
printer. Connect the BC16E-25 signal cable to the printer and to the
console terminal. Plug in the printer.
4. The following are the default terminal characteristics. If the terminal
does not have these characteristics, they must be set accordingly:
• Baud rate = 9600 (transmit = receive)
• 8 bits, no parity
• 1 Stop Bit
• Xoff at 64
