4. With your pocket knife or wire strippers, remove about an inch of
cable jacket exposing the five colored wires and the shield-wire.
5. Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from the GREEN and WHITE wires.
Short the GREEN and WHITE wires together by twisting gently.
6. Plug this Radio Cable into the 5-pin RADIO-1 socket on PK-232's
rear panel. Make sure that the cable exits the PK-232 downward.
7. Set the AFSK level on the right-rear of the PK-232 to 50%
rotation (straight up and down) using a small screwdriver.
8. Turn on your computer. Load and run your communications program.
If you are using Timewave program, follow the program
instructions to enter the Packet mode, then skip to step 11.
If you are using another Terminal Program or a Computer Terminal,
Set your computer's terminal program to:
o 1200 bauds (if available);
o seven-bit word;
o even parity;
o one stop bit.
NOTE: You may use other terminal baud rates with the PK-232 - we
recommend 1200 baud here to keep this procedure easy and consistent.
9. Press the PK-232's power switch to the ON position.
The four LEDs clustered at the left side of the panel will light
briefly and then the BAUDOT LED will light. If any other LEDs
light, the PK-232 has been previously initialized. If you know
the terminal baud rate the PK-232 has been set to, you may
proceed to step 11; otherwise you must remove the JP1 battery
jumper as described in section 2.2.1 before you proceed.
If your serial port is operating at 1200 bauds as we recommend,
you'll see the "autobaud" message:
Please type a star ( * ) for autobaud routine.
If your serial port is operating at 300, 2400, 4800 or 9600
bauds, you may see some "garbage" characters.
This is normal and you should proceed with step 10.
10. Type an asterisk (*). When the PK-232 has "recognized" your
computer's data rate, the CMD and PKT LEDs will light. Your
screen will then display the sign-on message:
PK-232M is using default values.
