Test

19200, N 8

The AUX1B port should be connected to the PC using the port-to-PC test cable that came with your 5992. Any terminal program (such as Procomm Plus® or the terminal program from Windows) can be used for this test. The RS232 communication parameters of this program must be set to the same parameters specified for the AUX1B port test. The port the 5992 is connected to should be selected on the PC.

Note: For AUX1B port testing, a check reader configured for the 5992 can be used. To test RS485 AUX1B, a check reader configured for an RS485 IBM 4683 register must be used.

Note: To change the communication parameters, press Cancel to return to the AUX1B screen. The keypad Yes and No keys are used to scroll through the available options. Refer to the following Baud Rate, Parity, and Data Bit selections for detailed information on changing the communication parameters. Once the parameters have been set, select TEST from the AUX1B screen and retest.

Press any key on the 5992 keypad (except the Cancel key). That character is transmitted over the AUX1B port and received and displayed on the PC. The character will not be displayed on the 5992.

If a key is pressed on the PC keyboard, that character is received on the 5992 and displays on the second line of the unit. If the second line becomes full, the next key pressed clears the line and displays starting at the beginning of the line.

Pressing the Cancel key during this test returns the HOST screen. Pressing Cancel again returns the DIAGNOSTICS HOST RS232 TEST menu.
