DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL

DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Binary Mode	If binary data containing the port select code
	is sent to a module, the DS-RPC may
	interpret the data as a command to change
	ports. Binary mode prevents such an
	occurrence by placing the DS-RPC in a
	mode which does not look at the data. This
	provides a reliable binary data transmission.
	However, before a connection can be made
	to another port, the binary mode must be
	terminated.
	Place the port in binary mode by sending the
	port select code, a capital B, and a carriage
	return ($BTB). For example, if using the
	default Port Select Code ($BT), place
	Module 2, Port 1 in binary mode by typing
	$BT2,1<cr>$BTB<cr>.
Terminate Binary	From the terminal emulation software, send
Mode	a BREAK condition command to terminate
	binary mode. You may have to consult the
	software users’ manual for the specific
	BREAK condition command for the
	emulation software you are using. For
	example, the BREAK condition command
	for PROCOMM PLUS is “Alt B.”
