Activating the Y249 Engineering Function

Before the Engineering Function can be activated, an Escape character must be defined (see section 5 for details on how to do this).

If you have defined % as Escape CHARACTER, you activate the engineering function by typing:

%Y249,n%

n = password. As this is sensitive information, system operators can contact their i-data distributor for password details.

Deactivating the Y249 Engineering Function

The function will be deactivated automatically after timeout on the share port used (timeout is defined in Y100 Port Sharing Option).

Limitations when Y249 is active

Characters not present in the PC-850 symbot set (Coax) can still be sent in hex notation.

Example:

If you need to define user string 1 containing a PCL reset, then define the following:

&&??%

%Y249,PASSWORD%

%Y61,1,1B45%

%X1
