Configure Channel 0 for a Communication Mode Change

You can configure channel 0 so that it switches from one communication mode to another upon receiving a control command. You define a mode attention character and either a system or user mode character.

Character	Tells the Controller to	Default Character
Mode attention character	expect a change communication mode	[Esc]
	command
System mode character	switch the communication mode to	S
	system mode
User mode character	switch the communication mode to the	U
	user mode

Every time the controller receives the mode attention character and either a system or user mode character, channel 0’s communication mode will be switched to the new mode.

To configure channel 0 for a remote communication-mode change, follow the steps on the left:

The Mode Attention character tells the controller to expect a communication mode change. If you are using a control character, enter the ASCII equivalent in hexadecimal. With other characters, just enter the character. Do one of the following:

Enter the character you want to use to tell the controller to switch communication modes for channel 0. If you are using a control character, use the ASCII equivalent in hexadecimal. With other characters, just enter the character.
