SERIAL PORT
The RS-232C serial port transmits and receives data from both the host
computer and the terminal. The reader's serial port parameters must
match those of the terminal.
0) DATA TYPE: 0=ASCII 1=PC SCAN CODES
0* Sets the data format to ASCII characters. Use this
mode with standard ASCII terminals.
1 Sets the data format to PC SCAN CODES. Use this
mode only if you are using a "PC-Terminal" type
terminal. This type of terminal transmits PC SCAN
CODES to the host computer. Some operating
systems that use these types of terminals are: PC-
MOS, CONCURRENT DOS, etc.
1) DUPLEX MODE: 0=FULL 1=HALF
0* Selects FULL DUPLEX mode. In FULL DUPLEX, the
reader transmits data out the HOST port only. The
host computer receives the data and echoes it back
to the terminal.
1 Selects HALF DUPLEX mode. In HALF DUPLEX,
the readers transmits data out both the HOST and
TERMINAL ports at the same time.
2) INTERCHARACTER DELAY (00 - 99 msec)
This option specifies the amount of delay to be inserted
after transmitting each character. The delay period is
programmable from 00 to 99 msec. This feature allows the
user to slow the data rate down for host computers that
require more time to process each character.
3) DAISY CHAIN (ON/OFF, ID)
This option specifies the Daisy Chain mode of operation.
ON Enables Daisy Chain Controller operation. When
enabled, the unit polls and accepts data from each
M2500 that is in the daisy chain.
OFF* Disables all Daisy Chain operations. M2500
operates as a stand alone unit.
ID Designates the unique daisy chain ID. Accepts ID
values from the Full ASCII Chart in the range of
"SP" to "DEL" (ASCII 32-127).
