Why does the Gemini Stop and wait for startup instructions if the hand controller is not present?
The Gemini unit has to have either the hand controller or an external computer to tell it which mode to boot in. When the Gemini initializes, it looks to see if a hand controller is connected, or some other type of communications adapter is connected to the DB15 pin connector. If it detects a hand controller, then it will go ahead and send out the display commands to the hand controller. If a hand controller is not present, or a Second Serial Port adapter is present, then the Gemini will stop and wait for a signal into either the normal RS-232 port or the Second Serial Port, to tell it that a computer or PDA or some kind of controlling device is present. The controlling device has to be able to tell the Gemini what mode to start up in.
