Finishing up your Base configuration
Once you have finished configuring your Base Station, press the F1 key to
return to the Setup Menu, then F1 again to get to the SIGN ON? prompt.
Unplug the power supply from the Base Station, move JP103 back to the
NORMAL position (see diagram at beginning of this section), then replace the
cover on the Base Station. Plug the power supply back in to power up the Base.
Once the Base Station is powered up, you should be able to SIGN ON from your
Terminal. You must always change the jumper and re-power the Base Station
for the changes to take effect.
Changing the Base Station parameters from the Host
Once a Base Station has been hung from a ceiling or other high place, you don't
want to have to get a ladder every time you need to change one of the Setup
Parameters on it. To allow for this situation, there is a way to change all of the
Setup Parameters except frequency from the host computer. The command for
the Base Station Setup follows this format:
@@*S b r p d s l aa EOT
Where:
letter parameter possible values
@@*S
message prefix
always @@*S
0=300 2=1200 4=4800 6=19200 b
baud rate
1=600 3=2400 5=9600
r
XON/XOFF
Sensitive
0=NO 1=YES
p
Parity
0=None 1=even 2=odd
d
Data Bits
0=7 bits 1=8 bits
s
Stop Bits
0=1 bit 1=2 bits
l
Listening to:
0=Terminals and
Relays
1=Relays Only
a
future use
use 0 for present
a
future use
use 0 for present
EOT
Host to Base
message
terminator
always EOT (ASCII 4)
If the command does not have the exact length of all bytes present and/or any
byte does not have a valid value, the command will be ignored. Be careful when
using this command as it does change the way you communicate with the Base
station. Your program must make the same adjustments immediately in order to
resume communication.
