PRINTER SYNTAX
H
ere are the commands for MAP printer port operation. This
syntax establishes the coding for the printer port to inter-
face to a standard ASCII (VT-100) terminal or a personal com-
puter with terminal emulation software. The printer syntax
allows you to communicate with the alarm and control system to
find out the status of alarms and to operate control points.

The terminal must be set for the same data rate (baud), parity,
stop bits, and word length as those set on Switch S4 (See
Switch Settings
).
♦
Make these settings before connecting the terminal to the
MAP.
♦
If the system is operating properly, a prompt
> appears on
the screen. The MAP is ready to accept command inputs.
♦
If the terminal and MAP do not communicate, remove power
from the MAP. Then check the settings at the terminal and
also at the MAP.
Type UNLOCK and press Enter.
This command unlocks the MAP so you can enter most of the
other commands. If there is a password in the MAP, you will
have to type the password in order to unlock the MAP. See the
Password command in the
Syntax Commands
section for
instructions on setting up a password.

After each command you type at the terminal, press Enter to
execute the command.
Some standard ASCII terminals (or computers operating as
terminals) have function keys you can program to do frequently
used keystroke sequences in a single keystroke. Refer to your
terminals user manual for instructions on how to program the
function keys.
