This scanner simply has a a small knob, with a diagram close by, which shows 
that half the settings are terminated and half are not - you simply select 
which you need.  At one point I did have the scanner and a dat drive on the 
interface, and they worked well enough together.  I think that I took the 
easy way out and put the dat drive first and the scanner on the terminated 
connection.
