DataaaaaaaaCR | Worth Data 701 RF guide

dataaaaaaaa<CR>

where dataaaaaaaa is the data string from the original transmission, terminated by a CR (ASCII 13). This test verifies communication in both directions (host to Base, Base to host).

•If the data isn’t echoed back, either your host COM port or the Base Station has a problem.

•Once you know the Base Station is communicating with the host correctly, compare the channel of the Base Station with the channel of the Terminal. Use Site Testing to check the communication of the Terminal to the Base and back. Stay close, make sure no other Terminals are in use, and go to Site Test mode on the Terminal. You should get 96-100% on first try. If you don’t, it’s a good chance your radios need repair. Call Worth Data for an RMA.

If you are using PICK or UNIX as your operating system, make sure the Base Station is set to "XON/XOFF Sensitive".
