Configuration Commands
Configuration commands allow changing of the unit's setup parameters without the Use of a menu. They may be used on serial or parallel units. To enable processing of configuration commands, depress both of the unit's front panel switches. The MODE and BUSY LEDs will light. This indicates that the unit is in configuration mode. The unit must be in this mode to process configuration commands. To leave the configuration mode, depress both switches again. The MODE and BUSY LEDs will return to the state they were in prior to entering configuration mode. While in configuration mode, but not in the menu, the DATA LED will flicker in response to data received on port 1.
Entering configuration mode will stop data transfer to the shared device, and also erase all data in the buffer. No new data can be loaded into the unit while in configuration mode. Configuration commands are recognized when input to PORT 1 ONLY. If a configuration command contains any syntax or value errors, it is ignored. A valid command is processed immediately upon receipt of the last character of the command and does not require a carriage return or line feed terminator. With serial units, carriage return is an illegal character in a configuration command, as it will cause entry into the configuration menu.
