Communication with Terminal Program
8.8.1
Data Terminal
If a VideoJet X40 cannot be found in the network or the connection to the network is
interrupted, you can connect a data terminal to the VideoJet X40 for initial setup and setting
of important parameters. The data terminal consists of a computer with a terminal program.
You require a serial transmission cable with a 9-pin Sub-D plug to connect to the computer
and open ends for connection to the terminal block of the VideoJet X40 (see Section 8.7.1 Pin
Assignment, page 116).
HyperTerminal, a communications accessory included with Microsoft Windows, can be used
as the terminal program.
1.
Disconnect the VideoJet X40 from the Ethernet network before working with the terminal
program.
2.
Connect the serial interface of the VideoJet X40 using any available serial interface on the
computer.
8.8.2
Configuring the Terminal
Before the terminal program can communicate with the VideoJet X40, the transmission
parameters must be matched. Make the following settings for the terminal program:
–
19,200 bps
–
8 data bits
–
No parity check
–
1 stop bit
–
No protocol

Command Inputs
After the connection has been established, you must log onto the VideoJet X40 to access the
main menu. Other submenus and functions can be accessed using the on-screen commands.

If necessary, turn off the local echo so that entered values are not repeated on the
display.
2.
Enter one command at a time.
3.
When you have entered a value (such as an IP address), check the characters you have
entered before pressing Enter to transfer the values to the VideoJet X40.
