'O' = Odd parity
'E' = Even parity
protocol: 'M' = Multipoint (default)
'F' = None protocol
address: 'A' = terminal address ID for Multipoint mode
(default)
Each MR350MKII has to be assigned a unique
communication address when it is used in a
Multipoint environment. The address is used by a
host or concentrator to perform polling functions.
Characters 'A'-'Y' and '0'-'6' are used for assigning an
address ID of each terminal.
timeout: '02' = polling timeout two cycle periods
(default).
'02'-'FF' in hex format.
The value of this setting is specified for the
communication timeout. If the MR350MKII does not
receive a response from the host system within the
number of timeout cycle periods, the MR350MKII
regards the communication as unsuccessful and the
transmission is then aborted. If the timeout value is
set to zero, no timeout check is performed by the
MR350MKII.
2.5. Terminal Control Table (available for host port only)
The terminal control table is meaningful only if the MR350MKII operation switch is
set to "terminal mode". All other operational modes ignore the terminal control
table.
2.5.1. Type Definition
The terminal control table is defined by the following typedef
TERM_CONFIG. There is only one instance of the
TERM_CONFIG data structure:
typedef struct { char terminal_id[8]; /* terminal id */
BYTE online;
BYTE echo;
BYTE autolf; /* auto LF */
BYTE mode;
BYTE linepage; /* line or page block */
BYTE lineterm; /* line terminator */
