Hello,
I did have baud speed misconfigured. Although I fixed that, the
terminal still does not work. When I type "show modem" in C-Kermit this is
the output:
Modem is not ready: DSR is off
no carrier detect: CD is off (set carrier is off)
no Clear to send: CTS is off
With the serial config shown below shouldn't I have a modem ready status?
PC male DB25 Terminal DB25
TxD Transmit Data 2 --> 3 RxD Receive Data
RxD Receive Data 3 <-- 2 TxD Transmit Data
RTS Request To Send 4 --> 5 CTS Clear To Send
CTS Clear To Send 5 <-- 4 RTS Request To Send
DSR Data Set Ready 6
|
DCD Carrier Detect 8 <-- 20 DTR Data Terminal Ready
SG Signal Ground 7 --- 7 SG Signal Ground
6 DSR Data Set Ready
|
DTR Data Terminal Ready 20 --> 8 DCD Carrier Detect
