ETTINGS
Use the PQ-8’s configuration
switches to select the twinax address,
the output protocol, and to perform
the available test and diagnostic
functions. The PQ-8S has a second
bank of eight switches (referred to
as SW2) to change the serial
parameters. Use a pointed object,
such as a ball-point pen, to change
the switch settings.
When operating, the PQ-8 will
only recognize EBCDIC Hex Dump
and ASCII Hex Dump settings. All
other settings are only read at power-
up. Whenever one of these settings is
changed, remember to cycle power
to activate them.
NOTE
Check the device description.
Host Print Transform must be
turned “Off” in OS/400 V2R3
and later.
4.2 PQ-8 Configuration
The PQ-8 can be configured
through its on-board configuration
switches, user-friendly PC setup
software, or by sending download
commands from the host or from a
PC/LAN. To ensure proper
functioning of the PQ-8, you should
review all available setup parameters.
