[net.micro.ti] use of Terminal Emulator II

sfk@wucs.UUCP (Steve Karasek) (02/07/85)

   I am having trouble getting Terminal Emulator II to work.  I have a terminal
that is set with no parity, 1 stop bit, and 8 data bits.  I set the TE-II
with no parity, but the others I can't choose.  Even so, I should at least
get some garbage sent, but I am not able to send or receive anything (the
transmit light on the modem doesn't light when I type something).  I am able
to send to and receive from the terminal in BASIC when I connect it to the
RS232 card, but if I connect the modem instead, again I get no response.
Any suggestions?
   Thanks in advance.

   The TEII uses 7 bits for each data byte, so this could pose some problems.
Most likely, the problem that you are having is associated with the fact
that TI reversed the roles of pins 2-3, and 6-20.  This means that you can
NOT use a straight through cable on anything but a TI compatible modem.

Sigh....
