Downloading Configuration Commands
You can download any configuration command from a host computer. You can
combine commands into a single downloaded string of up to 254 characters.
The string must use the host communication protocol currently in effect.
Each command string should include the following, in this order:
• Enter Configuration command ($+)
• Desired configuration commands and data
• Exit Configuration command ($-)
If you send a string of configuration commands that contains an invalid
command, the reader executes the last valid command and stops processing
the string. The reader remains in Configuration mode and recognizes only
these two commands:
• Exit Configuration ($-) to act on the valid commands
• Reset (-.) to exit without acting on the commands
The data string for a specific command may include another recognized
command, such as CR, LF, or HT. If you want the reader to treat the command
as data, you must precede the command with the Command Override (DLE).
For more information, see “Command Override” in Chapter 8.
Download Command Example
As noted above, each command must include the Enter Configuration
command ($+) and the Exit Configuration command ($-). For example, to set
the 9560’s baud rate at 9600, send this data string:
$+IA6$-
where:
$+ enters Configuration mode
IA identifies the baud rate parameter
6 selects the 9600 option
$- exits Configuration mode and updates the parameter.
