From Host
Default:
Disabled
Options:
Disabled, Enabled
Messages sent to the host from the MS-810 will always include the scanner’s defined
protocol. The status of From Host determines if messages sent to the MS-810 from
the host must also include the defined protocol. If From Host is disabled, the defined
protocol is not included. If From Host is enabled, the defined protocol must be
included. (See
“Explanation of the From Host option,” on page 3-7
for further
information.)
Multidrop Addresses
No two scanners in the Multidrop Network can have the same address.
Each scanner in the network must have an address (from 01 to 50) assigned in its
configuration program.
Each address has its own separate poll and select address (from 1C to 7F hex).
For example, during a polling sequence, Scanner 03 expects a 20 hex (“SP” ASCII poll
character) from the concentrator. And during a select command, it looks for a select
value 21 hex (“!” ASCII select character).
User Defined Multidrop
Used when connecting to a concentrator or other device that does not match standard Mul-
tidrop protocol.
Any single character (02 hex to 7E hex) in the ASCII table can be assigned as the address
character. The character chosen is used as the poll character and the subsequent ASCII
character becomes the select character. For example, if a ^B(02 hex) is selected as the
address, ^C (03 hex) becomes the select address that the host will use in sending host
select commands. (See
Table A-12, “Multidrop Address Characters,” on page A-35
Note:
Definitions of commands in User Defined and User Defined Multidrop must be
duplicated in host applications to enable poll and select sequences to execute cor-
rectly during transmission.
Note:
Typically, parameters in User Defined Multidrop are defined by first enabling
Multidrop, then enabling User Defined Multidrop. This pre-loads Multidrop characters
into the parameters. You then change individual characters to match the host or other
requirements.
Preamble
Default:
^M
(and a null). Corresponds to <CR><NUL> (carriage return/null) displayed
in the menu.
Options: Any ASCII character, including control characters.
Allows you to define a one or two character data string that can be added to the front
of the decoded data.
