C1099A Alphanumeric Terminal
Quick Start Guide
The C1099A represents Hewlett-Packard’s latest
terminal for HP9000 and HP3000 systems. It can
be used as the system console or as a user data
entry station. C1099A can emulate HPTerm, and
industry standard ASCII and ANSI terminals. It
uses a standard PC-type keyboard and features a
clock, calendar, calculator, ASCII chart, and
diagnostic desk accessories.
Setup is easy – with emulation-dependent menus.
The Quick menu presents common terminal
settings for a one step setup.
What’s inside
In the box you will find the TPU (terminal processing unit), power cord, keyboard, and this Quick Start
guide. The power cord and keyboard are localized based on the country option you selected.

Installation
This guide covers how to physically connect the terminal to a host computer and a printer, as well as
configure it for common setups.
For more information on setting up your terminal and its options, the User Manual is available on
line at http://www.docs.hp.com/.
Connect the host cable to
the EIA port.
Set the communications
parameters in the Ports (F6)
menu.
Standard datacomm cable
is HP p/n 40242G
Connect the parallel printer
cable to the PAR port.
Set the printing parameters in
the Print (F8) menu.
Connect the keyboard cable
connector to the terminal, flat
side down.
Standard parallel printer cable
is HP p/n 24542D
Plug the power cord into the
terminal and then AC power.
NOTE:
All three ports cannot be assigned simultaneously. Only one datacomm connection can be used at a
time, and only one printer connection can be used at a time.
Default configuration:
Emulation = HPTerm
Comm mode = Character (vs. Block)
Host/Printer = EIA/Para
Baud Rate = 9600
Data Format = 8/1/N.
With these default settings the terminal will function as the system console on all HP9000s and HP3000s.
Reset to defaults:
The factory default is HPTerm emulation. To return to the default settings and reset the terminal, do the
following:
• Go to the setup menu. (Hit F10 and then F8).
• Select the Execute function key (Print/Scrn – SysRq).
• Use the arrow keys and select Default Terminal.
• Hit Enter to execute action.
• Exit the setup menu by hitting Esc. The blinking prompt “Save all? (Y/N)” will appear in the
upper right corner of the menu. Press Y to return to the session.
