CTL101 Operation Manual - V1.3 03/22/02 ©2002 - INLINE, Inc.
TERMINAL EMULATION PARAMETERS*
In order for the workstation to communicate with the CTL101, the terminal emulation program
parameters must be set as follows:
Enabled:
VT100 Terminal Emulation
Echo Typed Characters Locally (sending)
Wrap Lines that Exceed the Terminal Width (receiving)
Disabled:
XON / XOFF Control
Hardware Flow Control
Echo Received Characters
* Software comes standard with the Windows
™
Package.
By default, the CTL101 is set up to accommodate most common terminal emulation programs. If
the unit is not communicating properly (i.e. unwanted text / messages appear on the screen, double
spacing occurs between menu choices, menu selections are followed by "error" responses, etc.),
set the parameters to full duplex, no delimiter pause and no flow control, then check the emulation
program set-up. Refer to the Serial Port Control Section on pages 20 - 22 for more details.
CTL101 Set-Up Menu
Power-up the CTL101 and open the systems terminal emulation program. Type in an asterisk (*)
to bring up the setup menu. With Firmware Revisions 1.2, you may change the asterisk to any
character you choose.
Note: Whatever character you select, you may not use it in any command string.
The Main Setup Menu will look like this:
*CTL101 Main Menu - please enter selection.
1. Switch codes.
2. Infrared codes.
3. Serial Port.
4. Delimiter pause.
5. Set Code End character.
5. Self Test.
6. Exit.
CONTROL CODES FOR CONTACT CLOSURE
If the application involves control codes for contact closure, type "1" in the main menu followed
by ENTER.
A new feature includes Hexadecimal code entry (HEX format). HEX format codes must be
entered in pairs (even number of entries). Also, in ASCII format, Carriage Return (Ctrl M) and
Line Feed (Ctrl J) may now be entered as part of the code string (they were previously ignored).
HEX format code entry must be in capital letters "0-F" (Version 1.1 or later in self test).
