NOTE
Dataport configuration
The system provides two standard RS232 serial ports to allow a computer to be connected for data transfer and
control purposes.
W HEN CONNECTING TO A PC THE CONNECTING CABLE MUST BE A STRAIGHT THROUGH RS232 CABLE .
Dataport 1
If you wish to connect a PC to Dataport 1, you
must ensure that the PC and the system are
identically configured. The available settings
are:
Dataport 1 supports 4 different modes:
Data mode
Provides a transparent data channel. This
channel can be used for many different
purposes such as file transfer, application
sharing and more. When using this mode, it is
necessary to have a TANDBERG system at
the far end.
Control mode
The control interface provided by the Dataport supports a subset of the Hayes command set as well as a
comprehensive set of system specific commands.
This mode maintains communication with the Dataport’s command interpreter at all times. All features available
from the hand-held remote control can be accessed through the dataport.
Modem
Allows you to control the system externally via a PC as in Control Mode. Once a call is established, Dataport 1
will automatically switch to Data mode. When the call disconnects, Dataport 1 switches back to Control Mode.
T.120
Provides a data channel supporting the T.120 standard for data communication. Using T.120 software on your PC,
you can communicate with other T.120 systems using your PC and your system. Dataport 1 is used for monitor
control cable on the TANDBERG 8000. This means that to enable T.120, this cable must be disconnected from
the codec, which is not recommended.
