STEP 3 – Number of Sessions Selection 
This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the terminal for 
single or dual session mode.  
If you’ve connected two host cables (A or C 
AND
 B or D), and you wish to run in 
“dual session” mode, enter Setup and set “Sessions=Two” in the Quick (F1) menu.  
For single host operation, this setting should already be set at “One” since this is in the 
default state. 
 
To access the Setup menu, press 
Ctrl-Scroll Lock
  on a PC-style keyboard or 
F3
 on 
an ANSI keyboard. 
STEP 4 – Linking Ports to Sessions 
If you have selected “Sessions=One,” then you can skip to Step 5.  If you have 
selected “Sessions=Two,” there are four designations to make.  This step will be used 
later in Step 7. 
First, you have to decide which serial port will be assigned to your first host in Session 
1 (either EIA, Aux, or None).  Now, decide which port will be used for your second 
host in Session 2 (EIA, Aux, or None).  
The same port should not be used as the 
host port for both sessions. 
 Then, determine which port will be used as the printer 
port in Session 1 (EIA, Aux, Parallel, None).  Do the same for the printer option in 
Session 2.
