• In addition, the access type is shown at the right of line 4 of the top pane. The
access type can be LOC (the local keyboard/monitor user station is active),
RMT (a remote Paragon user station is active), or NO (there is no current user-
station activity—the Serial Adapter is idle and will grant keyboard and mouse
control to the first user station that attempts to assert it).
• The four lines in the bottom pane display command keys specific to the current
screen.
Online Mode
When you operate the Serial Adapter in Online Mode (see Figure 3), the main
screen area displays your interactions with the ASCII device, as if it were the screen
of an ASCII terminal. Simultaneously, the data stream being output by the device
is stored in an 8-page circular buffer, so you cannot only access and operate the
device, but you can also review its historical data as needed. Because the buffer is
circular, it always retains the most recent eight pages of data from the device; the
newest data will overwrite the oldest data.
Conveniently, you can program any of the PC keyboard’s 12 function keys to
trigger your most frequently used data-stream commands. Pressing any of these
keys when in Online Mode will send that data-stream command to the device.
During the online session, you can enter the following keys to control the
communication with the ASCII device or access the Serial Adapter Help and Setup
screens.
