Address Source

You can choose between Application and Manual for the Address Source.
The first time that you enter this screen, the default is Application. When
you re-enter the screen, the values that were previously saved appear.

When you set the Address Source to Manual, you invalidate the application
file. When you set the Address Source back to Application, you revalidate
the application file. It will execute normally.

Important After a successful download of an application file, via
Pass-Through or serial port, the terminal automatically resets the Address
Source to Application, uses the application file parameters, and discards
the Manual Address parameters.

Application—When you choose Application, the terminal uses the

application file Pass-Through Address Source.

If the application file contains a pass-through configuration, its values
are displayed in the Manual Address Source area. If the application file
does not contain a pass-through configuration or there is no application
file present in the terminal, you will see asterisks displayed in the
Manual Address Source area. Without valid parameters in the Address
Source, the Pass-Through upload or download fails.

When you choose Application and then choose Save & Exit, the
terminal saves the Auto-Restart setting only.

Manual—You must toggle the Address Source to Manual before you

can change any of the Manual Address Source entries.

When you choose Manual, the following message pops up:

Choosing Manual Address Source will
disable the Terminal’s current application
file. Select Application to enable

This message remains on your screen until you toggle the Address
Source to Application.
