DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Enter a new attention character. For example, if you want the attention character to be "%", type % followed by <cr>. The host module displays the new attention character and asks if you want to change.

Attention Character is

%

Change It? (Y/N):

 

If there are no additional changes, type "N” for no followed by <cr>. The DS71 or DS71-MD2 module stores the new attention character in non-volatile memory and returns to the main configuration menu.

DISCONNECT TIME When using the Attention Character Method,

GUARDit is possible for the same character being sent as data from another device to be interpreted by the host module as the attention character. This could result in unwanted port disconnection. If enabled, the Disconnect Time Guard feature provides reliable binary data transmission by providing a one-second “timeguard” after the host module receives the attention character. If more data is received within the delay period, the host module treats the character as data, not an attention character; thereby preventing unwanted port disconnection. Default Disconnect Time

Guard is disabled.

From the configuration menu, select #6, “Disconnect Time Guard,” followed by <cr>. The host module displays the current status and asks if you want to change:

Disconnect Time Guard is

Disabled

Enable? (Y/N, CR for no change):
