terminal 700/96

[Robert Pieters]

I have a terminal 700/96 connected to a Kx00 server and I cannot communicate with the server (blank screen).
The remote mode is on.

Robert,
1. make sure server is capable of displaying to terminal - it's on and running (not off and hang);
2. make sure you're using native 700/96 cable (I remember it's 9-25 adapter with HP part number and letter 'G' at the end);
3. make sure you're connecting to serial port 1 of terminal, overwise configure terminal to use another port (you can reset it powering it off, pressing and holding 'd' key and then powering it up)

The server is on and running, the cable is OK and holding the 'd' key is not the answer.

Then take null-modem cable, connect it to server and w2k machine with hyperterminal running and check if you'll see anything there

Hello,

Is this terminal the console or is a serial user terminal?.

Is connected to the console port o to a Serial Mux?
Have you checked the speed?

Have you checked with other terminal to the same port?
Regards, Vicente.

Robert-
Is the terminal plugged in, and the power button depressed?
You said the screen is blank. Is it totally blank or is there the function key display at the bottom of the screen? If there is no display whatsoever, and the "menu" key at the top of the keyboard does'nt bring it up, than you either have a power problem, or the terminal is bad.

Also,
the part number of the cable should be '24542 G'. the Terminal will not communicate correctly without the correct label.

Can you communicate to
anything with the terminal/cable?
(e.g., another server?)

If not, check that BLOCK
mode isn't on.

Also, check that your
serial cable is plugged into
whatever port is the
current "real" serial port
(e.g., Serial 1).

Try going to Setup and
reset the various setup
screens to "default".
