The ADDS 4000 series is a series of text-only terminals with a monochrome screen that came in page-white, amber, or green colors. Named after the manufacturer "Applied Digital Data Systems" (later renamed to Boundless Technologies), they are compatible with PC101/102/106/107 or ANSI VT-220 keyboards via RJ11 connector on the left side.

Connecting to Linux Machine
The easiest way to connect the terminal to a Linux machine — such as a Raspberry Pi — is to obtain a DB-25 male to DB-9 female null modem cable and a DB-9 male to USB adapter cable. You must get one labelled "null modem", as it is cross wired to be used without a modem.
Connect the cables to each other, one end to the terminal's EIA port (fastest), and the other to a USB port on your Linux host device.
Terminal Setup
- Press
Ctrl + Scroll Lock
(may be "PrLne" or "PrMsg" on your keyboard) to access Setup menu. - Press F1 to enter Quick menu (if not already selected). Set the following:
Host/Printer=EIA/None (enables EIA port to be connected to Linux host)
- Press F2 to enter General menu. Set the following:
Emulation=VT100
(and optional settings to turn down the bell noise and set a screen saver to protect the CRT)
- Press F3 to enter Display menu. Set the following:
Display Cursor=On
Page Length=24
Screen Length=26
Columns=80
- Press F4 to enter Keyboard menu. Set the following:
Key Mode=ASCII
- Press F6 to enter Ports menu. Set the following:
EIA Baud Rate=115200 (if not available, note the value you choose)
EIA Xmt=Xon-Xoff
EIA Data Format=8/1/N
EIA Recv=Xany-Xoff(XPC)
EIA Parity Check=Off
EIA Xmt Pace=Baud
- Press F7 to enter Host menu. Set the following:
Comm Mode=Full Duplex
- Press F9 to enter Emulation menu. Set the following:
ANSI-ID=VT100 (this will identify the terminal as a VT100 terminal to Linux)
Status Line=Off (recommended to prevent burn-in with line/text at top of screen)
- Press F13 (may be "Print" or "Print Screen" on your keyboard) to enter Exec menu.
- Press Enter on "Save Terminal" and wait for "DONE" message.
- Press Enter on "Save Session" and wait for "DONE" message.
- Press F14 (may be "Hold", "Break", or "Pause" on your keyboard) and Y to save and exit.
Linux Setup
- Enable the terminal console to be accessible by serial.
- On a Raspberry Pi, this can be set by running
sudo raspi-config
and enabling the "Serial Port" option under Interface Options; or by runningsudo vi /boot/config.txt
and adding an[all]
section at the bottom followed byenable_uart=1
.
- On a Raspberry Pi, this can be set by running
- Enable the USB serial port and set the baud rate to match the one you had set in the previous section.
- On a Raspberry Pi, you can do this by entering the commands:
sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
sudo systemctl start [email protected]
- On a Raspberry Pi, you can do this by entering the commands:
- If a login prompt isn't shown on the physical terminal, reboot the physical terminal followed by the Linux machine and it should prompt you for a login on the physical terminal.
