C — Centronics Mode
The ALLY PLUS will return to normal operating mode after switching to
Centronics output. All output from the ALLY PLUS will come from the
PARALLEL I/O port until configured otherwise. This option also can be
configured from the host (see Section 3 — Configuration).
D — Extended Modes
This mode is used to select Extended Modes. Extended Modes are acquired
by selecting Mode D and another mode in consecutive order. For instance,
to select Extended Mode D2, press the MODE selector button until the LED
reads “D.” After 2 seconds, the LED will display a “0.” The user must then
press the MODE selector button until the LED reads “2.” Supported
Extended Modes are described in the next subsection.
E — Reserved
This mode is reserved.
F — Host Diagnostic Report
When this mode is selected, the ALLY PLUS enters a diagnostic mode that
enables it to print a Host Diagnostic Report useful for analyzing data
streams. The data presented by this report is printed as it was sent by the
establishment controller, unaltered by the ALLY PLUS. (See the Appendix
for a sample of this report.) The ALLY PLUS must be powered down to
halt this operation.
Extended Modes
D2 — 6287 ULTRA Alternate Host Configuration
This mode is used to configure the ALLY PLUS from an alternate host with
data streams created for other AGILE protocol converters, including the
6287 ULTRA, 6287 IC and 6287 IC+. This mode is the functional
equivalent of placing dip switches B7 and B8 in the ON (down) position
and pressing the RESET button on the front panel of the ULTRA. To select
Extended Mode D2, press the MODE selector button until the LED reads
“D.” After 2 seconds, the LED will display a “0.” Then press the MODE
selector button until the LED reads “2.” This will place the unit in Extended
Mode D2, although the LED will display a “0.” After the configuration
changes are made, normal operation will resume after the user resets the
unit by pressing the MODE selector button until the LED reads “3.” Refer
to Section 11 — 6287 ULTRA Compatibility for more information.
