		DS72 HOST MODULE OWNER’S MANUAL
	DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION
ATTENTION	The Attention Character is a character used in sequence to invoke the main
CHARACTER	menu. Default Attention Character is a semicolon (;).
	From the configuration menu, select #5, “Attention Character,” followed by
	<cr>. The host module displays the current attention character and asks if
	you want to change.
	Attention Character is	;
	Change It? (Y/N):
	For example, if you want to change the attention character type “Y”
	followed by <cr>. The DS72 module responds:
	Enter Attention Character:
	Enter a new attention character. For "%", type % followed by <cr>. The
	DS72 displays the new attention character and asks if you want to change.
	Attention Character is	%
	Change It? (Y/N):
	If there are no additional changes, type “N” for no followed by <cr>. The
	DS72 module stores the new attention character in non-volatile memory and
	returns to the main configuration menu.
DISCONNECT TIME	When using the Attention Character	Method, it is possible for the same
GUARD	character being sent as data from another device to be interpreted by the
	DS72 as the attention character. This could result in unwanted port
	disconnection. If enabled, the Disconnect Time Guard feature provides
	reliable binary data transmission by providing a one-second “timeguard”
	after the DS72 receives the attention character. If more data is received
	within the delay period, the DS72 treats the character as data, not an
	attention character; thereby preventing unwanted port disconnection.
	Default Disconnect Time Guard is disabled.
	From the configuration menu, select #6, “Disconnect Time Guard,” followed
	by <cr>. The DS72 module displays the current status and asks if you want
	to change:
	Disconnect Time Guard is..................Disabled
	Enable? (Y/N, CR for no change):
	Type “Y” or “N” followed by <cr> to toggle the existing status or type <cr>
	for no change. The DS72 module stores the Disconnect Time Guard
	selection in non-volatile memory and returns to the configuration menu.
CONNECT PORT	When enabled, Connect Port ID Echo identifies the module number and
ID ECHO	port number you are connected to.	Choose the port device name or the
	module and port number to echo when a DS72 module selects a port on a
	DS74 module. Default Connect Port ID Echo is disabled.

From the configuration menu, select #7, “Connect Port ID Echo,” followed
