3. START-UP PR9CEDURES
3.1 INSTALLATION
When installing the VISUAL 100 for the first time, or when moving the terminal to a new
location or new communications trunk, the following steps should be followed.
1. Unpack the terminal and place it in the desired work area.
2. Tilt the terminal portion up and read the voltage value from the serial number tag.
If the voltage is correct, proceed to step 4.
3. If the voltage is incorrect, change the transformer wiring as described in
Section 7 .8.
4. If the interface is EIA, proceed with step 7.
5. If the interface is current loop, remove the rear panel (Section 7.2) and set the
internal switches as defined in Table 2-2.
6. Install the rear panel.
7. Plug in the Keyboard cable, Interface cable, and Printer cable into the correspond-
ing connector.
8. Power on the terminal.
9. If intensity is too low, cursor not visible, press SET-UP key once, then press and
hold the t key until the screen presentation is visible.
10. Proceed with SET-UP procedure as described in Section 3.2.
3.2 SET-UP MODES
3.2.1 General
The VISUAL 100 does not use exterior switches or jumpers to determine which built-in
terminal features will be on or off. Instead, a nonvolative RAM memory is used to remem-
ber which features are enabled and disabled. Terminal features are selected and stored in a
special mode called SET-UP mode. When SET-UP mode is entered, the status of terminal
features is displayed on the screen. You can then change the terminal features to any
desired configuration. Once the desired configuration is selected, the terminal will function
per the new configuration on either temporary basis (by exiting SET-UP mode) or fixed
basis (by performing the SAVE operation).
SET-UP mode is divided into two parts; SET-UP A and SET-UP B. *SET-UP A shows
whether an 80 or 132 column screen format is selected and also displays the location of
each columnar tab stop. Each SET-UP A feature is described.in detail in Section 3.2.2.
SET-UP B summarizes the status of other terminal features and is described in detail in
Section 3.2.3. Table 3-1 summarizes the various features that are determined in SET-UP
A and SET-UP B.
*If the buffered printer option is selected, SET-UP mode is divided into 3 parts, see Section 6.
