6287 ULTRA User’s Manual

After the user’s selections are keyed on the screen, press the local copy key on the terminal. The ULTRA will interpret each command and store the new selections in its non-volatile, battery-backed RAM. This is a form of permanent storage that will hold the selections even when the unit is powered off.

The command sequences will not be printed. They will affect only the configuration of the ULTRA.

Multiple Option Selections

The user can change the parameters of more than one option in a single line. Only one terminator per line is necessary to download option values. To download several option parameters on a single line, the user must separate each sequence with a comma (,) after each valid option parameter value.

The following example illustrates multiple command selection, where Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢). It sets the column width (Option #1) to 80, turns off local copy null line suppression (Option #4) and sets output (Option #10) to EBCDIC mode:

¢?1=80,4=N,10=B;

Multiple lines may be used to download configuration option parameters. Each line must have its own trigger and its own terminator.

Resetting All Options to Factory Defaults

To reset all options to factory preset default values, send the following command to the ULTRA:

¢?0;

where the cent sign (¢) is Trigger 1 (the default).

Note: This command will reset all General Configuration options, all programmable function strings and all translate tables to their factory presets. All modifications to any parameters will be lost.
