Appendix D: Connecting Serial Devices to Paragon II System 

 

To program any of your keyboard's twelve function keys with commands 
or data items you frequently have to send the device, activate the Set Up 
Programmable Keys screen by pressing Alt + F3. Once a string (with a 
maximum length of sixteen characters) has been assigned to a key, 
pressing that key while in On Line Mode will send the entire string to the 
device. 

 

 

If you do not get a device prompt: 

1.  If AUATC's screen is displayed on your monitor with the top and 

bottom help windows, make sure that it indicates On Line status. If 
not, press Esc to return to On Line Mode. 

2.  Make sure that AUATC and the attached device are both receiving 

power. AUATC's power supply should be securely connected to both 
AUATC and a working outlet. Its LED (next to the 6-pin mini-DIN 
PS/2 mouse connector) should flicker quickly if data is being 
transmitted and blink once per second at other times. 

3.  Make sure that the cable between AUATC and the device is securely 

attached at both ends. This must be the null-modem cable included 
with AUATC or one just like it. 

4.  Make sure that the serial-communication settings of AUATC match 

those of the device. Press Alt + F2 to check AUATC's settings in its 
Setup Screen. 

If you do not get any video or the video is degraded or distorted: 

1.  Make sure that all of your cables are connected securely. 

2.  Make sure that your monitor can handle 800 x 600 video resolution 

at a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
