Binary mode allows all data received by the host port to be passed through to the selected peripheral port including the control character. Binary mode is useful when sending binary data (i.e., data in a format other than ASCII) to the selected peripheral port and it is possible that the bit pattern for the control character may be part of the data stream. Binary mode is also useful if you wish to pass the control character through to the selected peripheral device.

To access binary mode, the host device sends the control character (factory default is Control-T) followed by ASCII capital B. While operating in binary mode, you will unable to access configuration mode or select a different peripheral port until you exit binary mode. To exit binary mode, the host port must see a "BREAK CONDITION".

NOTE: You may access binary mode regardless of the mode of operation you operating in.

The H-Series models will pass a "BREAK CONDITION" through to any selected peripheral port in any of the six modes of operation provided you are not operating in binary mode.
