Command Prefix: This property controls Command prefix byte which is sent from
the host application to the MiniTerm as part of any in-line command to control
various keypad functions like clearing the LCD display, changing the LCD cursor
type, moving the LCD cursor position, activating the internal beeper or alarm, etc.
If this property is changed, then you must perform a hardware factory
reset prior each download. This is because the download application uses
the default prefix
.
A full list of the in-line commands are provided in the
Host Command Set
section.
RS232 Settings: This property controls the keypad serial COM port
communications settings such as baud rate, # of data bits, parity and # of stop
bits.
If this property is changed, then you must perform a hardware 2-finger
factory reset prior each download. This is because the 9xxLoad download
application uses the default RS232 settings of 9600 baud, 8N1 (8 data
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). Your other option is to modify 9xxLoad.ini
accordingly.
LEDs: This sets the behavior of the two LEDs that are present in the 905/906/907
series MiniTerm. See the section
LED Operation
for more information.
USB Host Mode: Normally MiniTerms interact with PC applications written to
access COM ports or virtual COM ports (COM ports over USB). If you need your
USB MiniTerm to emulate a PC keyboard, then change this setting to PC
Keyboard (USB HID).
If this property is changed, then you may need to perform a hardware 2-finger
factory reset prior each download.
See the
Appendix
for more information about
the available Host connections.
Card Reader (Optional): This property is used when the MiniTerm has a Bar
Code Reader, RFID card reader or Mag Card Reader installed. Before the card
data is sent to the host, it can be formatted by the MiniTerm with a START
character and an END character if needed. Both START and END characters
are single byte ASCII values that can be set to any value desired or disabled
completely if not needed.
