Binary Mode If binary data containing the port select
code is sent to a module, the DS-RPC may
interpret the data as a command to change
ports. Binary mode prevents such an
occurrence by placing the DS-RPC in a
mode which does not look at the data. This
provides a reliable binary data transmission.
However, before a connection can be made
to another port, the binary mode must be
terminated.
Place the port in binary mode by sending the
port select code, a capital B, and a carriage
return ($BTB). For example, if using the
default Port Select Code ($BT), place
Module 2, Port 1 in binary mode by typing
$BT2,1<cr>$BTB<cr>.
Terminate Binary From the terminal emulation software, send
Mode a BREAK condition command to terminate
binary mode. You may have to consult the
software users’ manual for the specific
BREAK condition command for the
emulation software you are using. For
example, the BREAK condition command
for PROCOMM PLUS
 is “Alt B.”
