Transmit File
There are three ways to transmit files from the TRAKKER Antares terminals:
•
Use the serial port to transmit files from the 246X terminal.
•
Use the serial port to convert and transmit 8-bit binary files to 7-bit ASCII files
from the 246X terminal.
•
Use network communications to transmit files from the 2461 terminal.
For help connecting the terminal to a host computer or the DCS 300, see Chapter 4,
“Operating the Terminal in a Network.”
Transmit File Through the Serial Port
Purpose: Transmits a file from the 246X terminal through the serial port and saves it on the host
computer. You must have the terminal connected to the host through a serial port. For
help, see Chapter 2, “Installing the Terminal.”
On the host, you need to receive the file using a serial communications package (i.e.,
Windows 3.1 Terminal, Win95 Hyperterminal, Crosstalk, or Procomm) that supports
one of these protocols:
•
XMODEM
•
XMODEM-1K
•
YMODEM
XMODEM-1K
is a version of
XMODEM
that supports 1024-byte blocks as well as the
standard 128-byte
XMODEM
data blocks, which increases the throughput.
YMODEM
has the additional ability to transfer a file name with the file’s data and it preserves the
length of the file without padding.
Note: 246X terminal filenames are up to eight characters with a three-character
extension.
From Network:
%%X
n,drive:filename Transmits a file using
XMODEM
protocol
%%K n,drive:filename
Transmits a file using
XMODEM-1K
protocol
%%Y
n,drive:filename Transmits a file using
YMODEM
protocol
where:
%%X is the command to transmit a file using
XMODEM
protocol.
%%K is the command to transmit a file using
XMODEM-1K
protocol.
%%Y is the command to transmit a file using
YMODEM
protocol.
n indicates the terminal’s serial port: 1 or 2.
