Kathrein 9986492 manual Operating of the MSK 33 via modem, Code Password, TTY mode, Ansi mode

Interfaces

After pressing this button, the MSK 33 is reset to the factory setting.

Code (Password)

Here, the currently valid password can be read, which must be known by the used for the remote request or control of the MSK 33. The password can only be changed in active modem operation.

PIN1

is the master PIN and opens all functions of the MSK 33 (including download of the unit software). Just in case, you should not register yourself under this PIN, in order to avoid overwriting the programme software (other safe- ties are built in).

PIN2

opens all function of the MSK 33 with the exception of locking the programme memory and the new program- ming of programme memory. The important settings on the MSK 33 can be remotely controlled with this.

PIN3

allows one to only receive measurement values form the MSK 33. The changing of important settings is not possi- ble after login in under this PIN.

Note: For changing a PIN (only possible via RS232), the PIN is always taken over, under which you have logged- in with.

Operating of the MSK 33 via modem

The MSK 33 can be remotely controlled in two terminal modes. It is distinguished between the TTY mode and the ANSI mode.

The TTY mode

The TTY mode is line-orientated and complies for the most part with the usual op- eration via a serial interface or a modem. This means, the command abbreviations are entered in via the keyboard, interpreted by the MSK 33 and the command is appropriately executed. MSK 33 confirms the execution of the commands with text information- After each command, the screen is scrolled up line-by-line. This method is used in general for the automation of measurement tasks. A written measurement programme from the user cyclically calls up certain commands of the MSK 33 and analyses measurement values sent by the MSK 33.

the ANSI mode

In ANSI mode, it is possible for the MSK 33 to generate a intuitively easy to use surface by simple control characters on the controlled page, which is in the SAA standard under DOS. A advantage of this method is that any terminal programme for controlling the MSK 33 can be used (e.g. Term95, Telemate, Hyperterminal etc.). The installation of a separate control software on the PC is not necessary. Other control computers can also be used as well. Here, The available control characters in ANSI standard are fallen back upon a subset.

The log-in procedure

The MSK 33 responds to the user with the request of the password (PIN), after a carrier has been recognised on the modem or for deactivation of the handshake af- ter the entry of RETURN on the terminal programme. If no PIN is available (all po- sitions of the respective PIN in the modem menu of the MSK are highlighted yel- low), here RETURN must be pressed once more for confirmation.
