E. Alternative file transfer mechanisms

Sending a file to a Communication program

You can send your files to a communications program such as Windows Terminal or ProComm. However, if you do this there will be no error checking during the file transfer.

Connect the Workabout to an appropriate serial port on the PC using the SunScan RS232 cable or a null modem serial cable.

In the communications program

Set the COM port you are using to 9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. Select either hardware (RTS/CTS) or software (XON/XOFF) handshaking.

Select “capture to file” or “receive text file” and the filename you want to store the data in.

In SunData on the Workabout

Select Menu, File, File Transfer, Enter, and select the file you want to send.

The Workabout will send “start of header” (SOH ASCII 01) followed by the filename.

After a few seconds, the message “no response from receive program” will appear. Select continue and the Workabout will send “start of text” (STX ASCII 02) then continue transmitting the file. You should see this appear on the communications program screen.

You can stop the transfer by pressing On/Esc on the Workabout, or Ctrl+X in the communications program.

After the file has been sent, the Workabout will finally send “end of text” (ETX ASCII 03) and a file checksum value. A few seconds later the message “no acknowledgement from receive program” will appear. Select Quit.

Now close your file in the communications program.

Sending a file to a serial printer

You can print files out directly to a printer with a serial port. You must set the printer serial port to 9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, with either hardware (RTS/CTS) or software (XON/XOFF) handshaking. This is usually done by setting switches or jumpers inside the printer, and will be explained in the printer manual. Connect the printer to the Workabout using the SunScan RS232 cable or a null modem cable.

Proceed on the Workabout as described in the paragraph above.

Using the Workabout COMMS application

There is a built in communications program accessible from the Workabout system screen. This supports various protocols including XMODEM and YMODEM, and will support file transfer via a modem. The use of this is described in the Workabout manual on pages 52-58.
