- Bi-directional Device : Used to control peripherals such as bar code readers, touch
screens, scales etc
- ASCII to EBCDIC : this mode allows ASCII data received by the auxiliary port to be
converted to EBCDIC (AS/400) format and be placed in the keyboard buffer. This is
useful for connecting PC based peripherals (scanners, scales, etc) to an AS/400
application.
Note : the 'associated service' must be set to 'none' and this port must be set as the
AX3000 default auxiliary port (select the [Configuration]-[Terminal]-[Miscellaneous]
menu).
- Aux. Command (only for "ASCII to EBCDIC" mode): an ASCII character string may be sent
to the serial device. This is done by pressing the "Send Aux. Command" keystroke. (AltGr-F2
by default)
Example: requesting weight data from scales.
