The Communication Parameters
Before entering the Terminal Mode and attempting communications, you must know
the communication parameters used by
the
host system. These are usually provided
when you subscribe
to
an
information system and are likely
to
be listed
in
your user's
guide.
Once you know the communication parameters used by the host system, you must be
sure that the Model 100's own parameters match those
of
the host exactly.
