TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual 37
The following parameters can be set:
- Associated Service: selecting the protocol which control the auxiliary
port (for more information, see Chapter 3.5.3 and following).
- Net Service Parameter: for more information, see Chapter 3.5.3 and
following.
- Operating Mode: four modes are available:
- Printer: data flow takes place one way only (from the AX3000 to
the serial peripheral device). However handshaking between the
peripheral and the AX3000 is performed.
- Bi-directional Device: Used to control peripherals such as bar
code readers, touch screens, etc
- Mouse (AUX2 port only): support for a 2-button serial mouse.
Communication parameters (baud rate, stop bit, etc) are disabled.
Note: the 'associated service' must be set to 'none'.
- ASCII to EBCDIC (only available with the I52 firmware option):
this mode allows data received by the auxiliary port to be placed in
the keyboard buffer.
Note: the 'associated service' must be set to 'none' and this port
must be set as the AX3000 default auxiliary port (select the
[Configuration]→[Terminal]→[General] menu).
- Speed: selected from a list (from 300 to 115,200 bits per second).
- Format: data format is selected from a list: data length (7 or 8 bits), stop
bit and parity (none, odd or even).
- Test Device Presence: the CTS signal can be used by the AX3000 to
detect the peripheral’s presence.
- Handshake for Transmission: handshake used by the peripheral to
control the AX3000’s data flow.
- Handshake for Reception (available only in bi-directional mode):
handshake used by the AX3000 to control the peripheral’s data flow.
- Pre-print String (available for the lpd, rcmd and rtty services): character
string sent before the printing.
- Post-print String (available for the lpd, rcmd and rtty services): character
string sent after an the printing (for example "\0C" is a form feed)
