    Chapter 1: Introduction AUATC Overview Congratulations on your purchase of Raritan’s AUATC terminal converter! The AUATC is designed to emulate an “ASCII terminal,” converting RS232 serial ASCII terminal data to PS/2 keyboard and VGA video or Sun keyboard and Sun video. This conversion allows any devices that can be accessed by an ASCII terminal to be operated using a PC or Sun console.

    Remote Access up to 650’ Away The AUATC has a Raritan Cat5 transmitter port (RJ45) that enables you to operate a keyboard and monitor up to 650’ away using standard Category 5 Enhanced UTP cable. A Raritan Cat5 Receiver, model URKVMG, is required.

    The AUATC produces eight color, 800x600-resolution video, which can accommodate 32 lines of 80 text characters. A typical ASCII terminal uses 24 lines, so the AUATC uses the 8 extra lines to provide system status and help information. These 8 lines are located on the top four and the bottom four lines of the screen (see Figure 4).

    Online Mode When the AUATC is operated in On-line mode (see Figure 4), the screen area displays your interactions with the ASCII device. This mode of operation is similar to using an ASCII terminal to access and operate an ASCII device.
  • Page 17: Buffer Edit Mode

    ONVERTER Buffer Edit Mode The AUATC stores the most recent eight pages of data from the ASCII device in a circular buffer. You can edit the data in the buffer. To operate the AUATC in Edit Buffer Mode, press the <Alt-F4>. The AUATC will switch from On-Line Mode to the Buffer Edit Mode (Figure 6).
