SECTION III
REMOTE TERMINAL INTERFACE
3.1 GENERAL
The FCC provides an RS232 interface for diagnostic and installation capabilities. This interface
is required for setting up installation parameters for any new installation and recommended for
system troubleshooting. The RS232 interface is provided through a Remote Terminal Int erface
(RTI) jack located in the cockpit. Plug the compatible computer cable assembly 155--02794--0001
or 155--02794--0002 into the RTI jack. Connect the computer cable connector to the desired COM
port on the PC.
3.2 TERMINAL EMULATOR SETUP
The PC will communicate through the RTI by using the terminal emulator in the “ACCESSORIES”
group of Microsoft; Windows version 3.1 or later (Hyper Terminal in Windows95/NT). Use of other
interface software is acceptable. The displays are identical when using an alternate terminal
emulator. Regardless of software, configure the communications port as follows: 9600 baud rate,
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (none), Xon/Xoff flow control, and the desired COM port (typically
COM1).
NOTE
Verify that the terminal emulator being used is configured to strip out
all line feeds and carriage returns (this is the windows terminal
emulator default setting). Failure to do so will result in a
“CHECKSUM ERROR”.
A. Windows 3.1
Double click the “TERMINAL” icon. Upon entering the terminal emulator, select the “Settings”
menu item then select “Communications” menu option. Configure the communication port
as described above. Click on the “OK”.
Select the “Settings” menu item again, and select “Terminal Emulation…” menu option.
Select the “DEC VT--100 (ANSI) terminal option. Click the “OK”.
Select the “Settings” menu item again, and select “Terminal Preferences…” menu option.
Deselect the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option at the bottom of the
dialogue box. Click the “OK”.
B. Windows 95/NT
Select the Hyper Terminal folder in accessories. Double click the “HPTERM” icon in the Hyper
Terminal program group.
Enter a name for your connection (i.e. 140) and select an icon (this setup will work regardless
of which icon is chosen). Click “OK”.
The COM 1 Properties pop--up box will now appear. Configure this box as described above.
Click “OK”.
The terminal is now ready to communicate with the KC 140. Press the Enter key to establish
communication. If communication is not established verify the computer cable assembly is
properly installed.
