DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

__________________________________________________________________________________________

SELECTING A DEVICE There are two methods of selecting a device; menu driven selection and ASCII character string method.

Menu Driven	From the main menu, select the number that
Selection	corresponds to the device you wish to
	access, followed by <cr>. To return to the
	main menu, send the attention character five
	times (;;;;;).
ASCII Character	Another method of selecting devices and
String	operating the DS-RPC is the ASCII
	character string method. To select a device
	located on a peripheral module port, send
	the port select code (default is $BT), the
	module number, a comma, and then the port
	number, followed by <cr> (there are no
	spaces in the string). For example, to select
	port 4 located on module 2, type
	$BT2,4<cr>. To select port 1 on module 9
	(DS9 model), type $BT9,1<cr>. To
	disconnect, type $BT<cr>, then the attention
	character.
	To configure a module, type $BT and the
	module number followed by <cr>, then
	$CONFIG followed by <cr>. This will allow
	access to the configuration menu for that
	module. Once configuration is complete,
	type X for “Exit” followed by <cr>. To
	access the main menu, type the attention
	character five times.

NOTE: You must exit main menu to send ASCII character string commands.

NOTE: While operating using the ASCII Character String method, consider placing the DS-RPC in binary mode.
