Configuration: AUX Terminal Data Entry

Publication 2755-833

AUX Data Format

Field Type Options

Select

Unformatted
Host Format

Controls the format of data sent to the host from the keyboard. The
default is Unformatted; the data, with the AUX Source ID prefix (if
defined), is sent in the same form it was entered.

Select Host Format to send the data in the host message format set
by the parameters on the Host Message Format configuration
screen. The host format packages the manually entered data as if it
were scanned. The source identifier for the AUX terminal (if
defined) will distinguish manually entered data from scanned data. If
Send Symbology is enabled, “00” will be sent for data entered at the
AUX terminal. (Also see Host Message Replacement Rules, Chapter
10.)

Rubout Character

Field Type Options

Edit ASCII

0 through 255
008 BS

Defines the terminal character that allows you to delete the previous
character during keyboard data entry. The default is backspace
(decimal ASCII 008). To define a different rubout character, enter a
numeric value between 0 and 255.

Echo To Terminal

Field Type Options

Select

No
Yes

Controls whether data entered at the keyboard is displayed (echoed)
on the terminal display. The default is No, keyboard data is not
echoed.

If the terminal itself is set to echo data, select No to prevent the
terminal from displaying duplicate characters; otherwise, select Yes.
