Configuring the Digi One™ SP Option

Pentium CPU Card Parallel Printer Ports

When a 2200 paging terminal is equipped with the Pentium CPU card, the default printer

output is via the parallel port on the CPU card, connector J10 (see Figure 6 on page 34).

This is normally cabled to a DB-25 connector mounted on the terminal's hard drive

bracket in the bottom of the main chassis.

Earlier versions of the 2200 paging terminal provided only a serial port output for printer

activity. Many system operators have used this for other purposes than driving a printer.

One example would be logging the serial output to a text file on a PC. This provides a

record of every transaction or error occurring on the system.

There is only one supported way to convert the existing parallel printer output of the

Pentium CPU card into a serial output. You can purchase an after-market parallel-to-serial

data convertor and connect it between the parallel port of the paging terminal and

whatever serial device you are sending the printer port output to.

Configuring the Digi One™ SP Option

The configuration of the Digi One™ SP serial/IP conversion module is accomplished

through the Ethernet port on the device. The configuration takes place in two phases. The

first phase is carried out using a software tool provided by Digi International on CD-

ROM. It will require that the unit is connected to the network while being configured. The

second phase is carried out with the browser installed on your PC (such as Internet

Explorer). You simply enter the IP address of the module you want to work on into the

browser address bar manually.
