Binary Mode

DS72 HOST MODULE OWNER’S MANUAL

DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

<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- Series in binary mode.

Binary Mode	If binary data containing the port select code is sent to a module, the DS-
	Series may interpret the data as a command to change ports. Binary mode
	prevents such an occurrence by placing the DS-Series 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 a	BREAK condition
Mode	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.”

NOTE: The break length for emulation software is programmed within that software. The break length for a TELNET session is programmed within the BayTech firmware. This procedure is discussed on page 20.
