DS-RPC OWNER’S MANUAL

DETAILED OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Escape

The Escape Character (0 to 127 decimal

Character

value) allows characters to be interpreted as

 

commands instead of data. Normal operation

 

will not require this parameter to be

 

changed. However, there may be a situation

 

where an external device would echo the

 

escape character sent to the dial-in modem.

 

This echo could place the DS71-MD2

 

modem in the command mode. Changing

 

the escape character eliminates this problem.

 

Default Escape Character is 43, which is

 

2B Hex or a plus sign (+).

 

Select #4, “Escape Character,” from the

 

Local Modem Setup menu, followed by

 

<cr>. The DS71-MD2 displays the current

 

Escape Character and asks if you want to

 

change:

 

 

Escape Character is

43 (+)

 

Change It? (Y/N) :

 

Type “Y“ for yes followed by <cr>. The

DS71-MD2 responds:

Enter Decimal Value for Escape Character (0 to 127): or press ENTER for no change

To change the escape character, enter the decimal value of the Hex character to be used as an escape character. The DS71- MD2 displays the new escape character and asks if you want to change. If there are no further changes type <cr>. The DS71-MD2 stores changes in non-volatile memory and returns to the Local Modem Setup menu.
