RS-232 Serial Port Verification
1 Ensure that the correct hardware connections exist between the 5071A and your
terminal, personal computer, or workstation for your remote operation needs as

• Check and verify all serial port parameters: baud rate, data bits, stop bits,
and parity.
• Check and verify the hardware connections and cabling for correct DTE-
DCE signal paths. See the section ―Hardware Connection‖ on page 42 in
Chapter 4 of this manual for serial-port pin assignments.
• Check and verify all cables and connections for open or shorted lines.
