6. FSL Setup via Xerox LS 3270 ParallelPort
FSL support on the parallel input port is defined by temporary
escape character, FSL Y100 and ESC X1.
The Engineering Function Y249 (FSL setup via share port) allows
you to program the FSL parameters for coax input directly via the
parallel input port.
When FSL programming is preceded by FSL Y249, the Xerox LS
3270 will interpret the FSL as sent via the coax line.
Example:
&&??%%Y100,10,’SHARESTRING’%%X1
Sent to the parallel input port, this command string will program
FSL Y100 on the parallel input port it was sent to.
&&??%%Y249,PASSWORD%%Y100,10,’SHARESTRING’%%X1
Sent to the parallel input port, this command string will program
FSL Y100 on the coax port.
In the description below, it is assumed that you know how to define
an escape character (this must be done before you can use the
Y249 function).
Character conversion
When the engineering function is received all the following
characters in the Xerox LS 3270 are converted to LU3 characters.
The characters are now interpreted as received by the coax line.
This functionality is automatically deactivated after timeout on the
share port used.
