Configuration changes are made through the master configuration
port which is the highest numbered port on all models. Print Master
will transmit configuration menus to the serial device connected to the
master configuration port on all models except the 706A and 708A.
The 706A and 708A will print out configuration menus on a parallel
printer connected to Port 1 as described in
Section 7.1
. If you are
configuring a 700C unit, please see
Section 7.2
. If you are
configuring a 700D, 700E, or 700F unit, please see
Section 7.3
.
"
Please use the following procedure to access configuration mode of
the 706A or 708A and to program all the various features:
1.
Connect a computer with a parallel port such as an IBM PC or
compatible to Port 6 of the 706A or Port 8 of the 708A.
Connect a printer with a parallel port to Port 1 of either unit.
Please see
Section 5.1
and
Appendix A.4
for parallel cabling
information.
Since configuration must be performed through a parallel port
and since parallel communication is unidirectional,
configuration menus must be printed out on your printer.
2.
The computer must be in a mode that allows characters to be
sent from the keyboard to the parallel port. To put your
computer into this mode, Bay Tech provides a utility program
(PARSEND) or a suggested program to run using MS BASIC
(see
Section 4.2
.).
NOTE: Make sure the keyboard of your computer is in the
CAPS LOCK position.
