  GAP/Unix Data Reader/Scanner
 
GAP/Unix Data Reader/Scanner Readers are usually configured for software (Xon/Xoff) flow control, or for no flow control.

While the following procedure is sufficient for most cases, it may be necessary to take additional steps to properly configure your reader or to set up the OS for a specific application.

Software flow control can usually be accomplished with a 4 wire cable in most cases. The cable specification below is recommended to allow interchangeability of cables between terminals and printers, and to allow easy migration to hardware flow control if this proves necessary for a given terminal or application.

1) The Cable

Use the Standard Terminal Cable as diagrammed in The Digi Standard Cable FAQ

2) The Unix Server

Configure your program to read data from the terminal (non-modem device) port, as per a terminal, but do not enable a getty or ttymon on the port unless the program documentation specifically says to do so.

If the port is not working at this point, see the FAQ: Testing and Troubleshooting Portserver Ports Revised 4/15/98: BT
