Twinax Interface

Introduction to the twinax interface

This user’s manual describes how to use an Intermec printer with a twinax

interface adapter in an IBM twinax cable system. The twinax interface enables

the printer to operate with an IBM System/34, System/36, System/38, or

AS/400 host computer. With the twinax interface, your Intermec printer

emulates an IBM 5256 Model 1 printer. Host-to-printer commands are sent from

the host computer to the twinax interface. The twinax interface converts

EBCDIC/IBM twinax protocol into ASCII/Intermec printer protocol.

The following figure illustrates how an Intermec printer with twinax interface

fits into an IBM twinax system.

Twinax interface parts and function

The following table describes the twinax controls and indicators illustrated in

the figure on the facing page.

Number Name Description

1 Twinax interface card Provides the twinax interface that allows

other IBM compatible devices to be serially

connected to the printer.

2 40-pin accessory cable Connects the twinax interface to the

printer CPU PCB assembly.

3 Online light Flashes or stays on to indicate the twinax

interface is communicating with the host

computer or system controller.

4 Rear panel switches Enable or disable the twinax interface self-

test.

5 Fault light Flashes or stays on to indicate there is a

problem with the twinax interface or the

commands received by the twinax

interface. Pulses (comes on for one

second and then goes out) to indicate that

a message is being recorded in the error

log.

6 Twinax in connector Connects the printer to the twinax system.

7 Terminate switch Switch selectable load provides proper

termination when the twinax interface is

at the end of the twinax cable.

8 Twinax out connector Connects the twinax interface to the

printer CPU PCB assembly.

9 Mounting screws Secure the twinax interface to the printer.

Note: Intermec does not provide twinax interface cables.

Twinax Interface

Preparing the twinax interface for operation

The twinax interface has been installed in your printer at the main

manufacturing plant or by a field service technician. Before you can use the

twinax interface with your Intermec printer, you need to do the following:

•Connect the twinax interface to your host computer.

•Set up twinax communications.

•Understand the meanings of twinax interface status lights.

•Test for communication with the host.

Connecting the twinax interface to your

system

With a twinax interface installed, your Intermec printer can connect directly to a

host computer through the twinax in connector. Other IBM compatible twinax

devices can connect to the host through the twinax out connector.

Providing twinax interface cables

Intermec does not provide a twinaxial cable for you. You need to purchase a

twinaxial cable equivalent to IBM Part No. 7362267 or 7362062. The maximum

cable length allowed for the twinax interface is 5000 feet (1525 meters).

The twinax in connector attaches the twinax interface to a host computer. It can

also attach to the out connector of another twinax device attached nearer to the

host on the twinax cable system. The twinax out connector allows other IBM

compatible twinax devices to be connected to the system cable without the need

for a tee connector. The out connector requires the same twinax cable and

connector assembly that the in connector uses.

When you use the out connector on the twinax interface to connect other devices

to the system, be certain that the slide switch on the twinax interface rear panel

is set in the up (unterminated) position. If the twinax interface is the last device

or the only device on a cable, the out connector is not used. When this is the

case, the slide switch on the twinax interface rear panel must be set in the down

(terminated) position.

Twinax Interface

Connecting the twinax interface to your host

computer

Using the twinax cable described in the preceding section, connect the twinax

interface to your host computer according to the figure below.

Connecting the twinax interface to your host computer

Note: The serial port on the printer rear panel remains active after the twinax interface

is installed. To ensure trouble-free operation, do not connect any computing device to

this port while you are operating the printer through the twinax interface. The other

computing device may transmit messages to the serial port that interfere with messages

sent to the printer through the twinax interface.

Twinax Interface

Terminating the twinax cable

When the printer is the last device on the twinax cable, the twinax interface rear

panel slide switch should be set to the terminate position to designate that the

twinax cable ends at the printer. The twinax cable should not be terminated at

the printer when other devices are connected to the host through the twinax

interface. The twinax interface disables the out connector when the slide switch

is set to terminate the twinax cable. The twinax interface is shipped from the

factory with the slide switch in the up position (unterminated).

To terminate the twinax cable at the printer, set the slide switch as shown in the

figure below.
