If the software was installed in the default directory:
•At the DOS prompt Type C: and press the ENTER key.
•Type CD\232MSS2 and press the ENTER key.
To begin the SSTSR program (the following will be used as an example):
Port Address = 03F8 Parity = Odd Baud = 9600 User Defined Char. = 8
Data Bits = 8 Hot Key Sequence = 4
•Type SSTSR A03F8 B7 D8 P1 U8 H6 and press the ENTER key.
Using this method, every time you want to install the SSTSR
with different parameter settings than the default (refer to the Default Values section), the missing parameter must be specified.
Parameters
The Port Address is the address where the serial communications port is located.
Some of the typical port addresses are as follows:
Port | Address |
COM 1 | 03F8h |
COM 2 | 02F8h |
COM 3 | 03E8h |
COM 4 | 02E8h |
The Baud Rate is the speed at which communication takes place between the SSTSR and the Smart Switch. It must be specified so that it is equal to SW1 on the Smart Switch.
The Number of Data Bits is the length of each character that gets sent from the SSTSR to the Smart Switch. This value must be specified so that it is equal to SW2 on the Smart Switch.
The Parity is a method of error detection that takes place during the transmission of data between the SSTSR and the Smart Switch. This value must be specified so that it is equal to SW2 on the Smart Switch.
The User Defined Character must be set so that it is equal to SW3 on the Smart Switch.
