8300 Series Information and Examples
MAIN PORT CONFIGURATION

Output
END OF RECORD
Marks the end of an incoming data record from the Auxiliary Port. Use the HEX ASCII
chart on page 15 to find the alpha–numeric codes used for programming a particular End
of Record. The 8300 does not send End of Record characters to the terminal.
PROTOCOL
A set of rules governing the exchange of data between communications devices. See
Chapter 4 of the SCANTEAM 8300 Technical Manual for complete descriptions of
supported protocols.
The baud rate is programmable from 300 bits per second to 38,400 bits per second.
BAUD RATE
Parity provides a means of checking data bit patterns for validity. The parity should be
programmed to match the parity of the terminal being used. If the parity is not set
correctly, the resulting data may be incorrect.
PARITY
The data bits selection must match the requirements of the terminal being used.
DATA BITS
If programmed “Yes,” the 8300 will not transmit data until the CTS input is positive.
MAIN PORT CTS CHECK
Data messages received from the host must have a prefix to identify the message
destination as either Aux port 1 or Aux port 2. This selection allows you to program up
to a 2 character prefix which will identify each Aux port. (See Chapter 4 of the
SCANTEAM 8300 Technical Manual for a complete description of Communication
Protocols.) A selection of 00 disables the transmission of data to that aux port.
HOST TO AUX PREFIX
When using the Host to Aux Prefix (see above), you can program whether or not to
transmit the Host to Aux prefix character(s).
TRANSMIT HOST TO AUX PREFIX
This selection programs the 8300 to transmit or not transmit a Hex 15 (NAK) character
to the host if a communication error occurs.
