6-5.2 Terminal Keyboard Equivalents to the 930i Keypad
Each key on the 930i's front panel is mapped to a key on your terminal keyboard. All commands given
to the 930i manually can also be done remotely. The terminal keyboard equivalents are the same as
the computer keyboard equivalents listed in
Section 6-6.1, Computer Keyboard Equivalents to the
930i Keypad
.
6-5.3 Troubleshooting
Symptom:
Terminal CRT remains blank.
Probable Cause:
Faulty or improper RS-232 cable connection.
Solution:
Check cables, power to the terminal and RS-232 pinouts.
Symptom:
Terminal prints “gibberish”.
Probable Cause:
Incorrect data format.
Solution:
Turn terminal off. Set 930i Remote Mode to OFF. Check
930i baud rate, parity, character size, and stop bits.
Check terminal DIP switches to be sure of their data format.
Turn terminal on. Set the 930i remote mode to TERMINAL
and press K4 to EXIT. Select a terminal type.
Symptom:
The 930i does not respond to terminal commands.
Probable Cause:
Bad mechanical connection or CAPS LOCK not down.
Solution:
For mechanical condition, check the cables and connectors
(broken pins), power, and RS-232 pinouts. Be sure
that uppercase commands are being sent when intended.
The 930i uses only a few lowercase commands so the
CAPS LOCK key on the terminal should generally be
down.
Symptom:
930i responds to some commands but not others.
Probable Cause:
Broken lead in RS-232 cable or wrong data format.
Solution:
For data format, refer back to the "gibberish" symptom.
Be sure parity and number of bits are correct. Test the
RS-232 cable with an ohmmeter or by replacing with
another cable.
6-6 COMPUTER MODE
The 930i can be operated under the control of any computer capable of sending and receiving serial
ASCII characters over an RS-232 link. Each key on the 930i's front panel is mapped to an ASCII
character on the computer keyboard. Refer to
Table 6-2
for ASCII-to-Front Panel conversions as well
as HEX and Decimal equivalents.
