Nortech Systems XUSR User Manual

With an Adept SmartController system that does not have the graphical user interface, the 
customer must supply the terminal and cable to interface to the controller. The terminal 
must be a Wyse Model 60 or 75 with an ANSI keyboard, or a compatible terminal. You 
may also use a computer with suitable terminal-emulation software. For DOS or 
Windows-compatible computers, the programs “ProcommPlus” or “Procomm for 
Windows” (available from many computer stores) include software emulation for the 
Wyse-75. The HyperTerminal terminal-emulation program included with Windows can 
also be used.

This type of interface is not suitable for any graphics-based programming, graphics-based 
application programs such as AIM, or SmartController CX systems equipped with the 
vision option.

The recommended text-based terminal for use with the Adept SmartController is the 
Wyse WY-60. You must also specify the Wyse ANSI/VT100 style keyboard (Wyse p/n 
900127-02 or 900128-02). Note: The WY-60 is also available with ASCII and IBM Enhanced 
PC keyboards. These are not Adept-compatible. You must make sure you order the correct 
keyboard. The WY-60 is available in both 220V and 110V versions.

1. Make sure the controller is turned off before making any connections.

2. Verify that the voltage range marked on the terminal is compatible with your local 

voltage source. Connect the AC power cord to the terminal, then plug it into an 
appropriate voltage source.

3. Connect a suitable serial cable between the terminal and the RS-232/Term 

connector on the Adept SmartController. (If you need to fabricate this cable, see 

 for the RS-232 pin description.)

4. If the terminal is a Wyse 60, use the setup mode to set the personality to 

“WY-75”. If you are using terminal-emulation software on a computer, set the 
software to “WY-75” emulation. If “WY-75” is not available, try “VT102” or 
“VT100” (you will not be able to use all of the function keys).

5. Set the terminal baud rate to 9600, the default rate for the Adept system. To 

change the baud rate, refer to the information on CONFIG_C in the
