Dialing String
This parameter allows you to program an automatic dialing string for use
with a modem. The Dialing String can contain up to 24 characters scanned
from the FULL ASCII MENU. To program the Dialing String:
•
Scan Dialing String
•
Scan up to 24 characters from the FULL ASCII MENU
•
Scan the SET bar code
Typical Dialing String characters are modem control characters such as
ATDT1nnnnnnnnnn; where nnnnnnnnnn is the phone number to be dialed.
The last character should not be a CR (carriage return). The Dialing String
is transmitted by pressing the F2 key in response to the
DATA UPLOAD?
KEY [YES/NO]?_
prompt. When in SETUP MODE, you can display the three-digit ASCII
value for any characters entered for the Dialing String. See Appendix S;
Modem Protocol for details on TriCoder/ Modem communications.
Set ID Character
The ID Character is used with the polling functions only. It allows you to
assign each TriCoder a unique ASCII character used by the host to poll the
TriCoders. The TriCoder will not transmit its data until it has been polled
with its ID Character by the host.
ID Characters are limited to ASCII characters 96-127. These characters
are the lower case letters found in the last two columns of bar codes on the
FULL ASCII MENU. To set the ID Character, simply scan the desired
character from the FULL ASCII MENU (scan “a” to assign an ID Character
of “a”). If polling, all TriCoders must be assigned an ID Character.
The order of the data transmitted in Non Portable mode is:
ID+Preamble+DATA+Postamble+Chksum chs+Terminator
