This document serves as an installation and getting started guide for the VXT 2000+/VXT 2000 Windowing Terminal. It outlines essential system preparations, including ensuring VXT software is installed on a host or InfoServer system and confirming memory requirements.
The guide provides step-by-step instructions for unpacking components, installing optional memory or boards, positioning the terminal, and connecting all necessary cables for both two-box and one-box models. It then details the process of turning on the terminal, checking self-tests (which display information like the VXT boot ROM version, Ethernet address, and installed memory), and observing software booting messages until the Terminal Manager window or a custom display appears.
Initial setup steps covered include choosing the display language, selecting the keyboard type, and configuring network addresses (IP or DECnet) via the "Getting Started" menu in the Terminal Manager. The document also includes extensive troubleshooting for common problems such as blank or distorted displays, terminals failing self-tests, or issues during the software booting sequence. Appendices provide detailed instructions for memory module installation in both terminal configurations and a list of related documentation.
