DTE Displays
Auto-Display
When Auto-Display is enabled, an update of the LCD is automatically displayed on the DTE
screen each time a command (
E, 1, 2, 3, < or >
) is entered to control the front panel LCD on the
connected modem. Auto-Display is enabled when the long-form connect command
(
CONNECT
) is used.
Auto-Display is disabled when the
CON
command is used. However, even with Auto-Display
disabled, the
D
command can be used to display the LCD screen.
Echo and Line Feeds
The
CONNECT
command also enables echo and line feed on the DTE screen, whereas both are
disabled when
CON
is used. This means that data from the connected modem will be easier to
read when CONNECT is used; however, data throughput will be faster if
CON
is used.
Display of Selected Options (Flashing Characters)
On the ALX front panel LCD, a selected option choice flashes on and off so it can be easily
identified as the current selection. When an LCD display is sent to the DTE in response to the
CONNECT
command, characters that are flashing on the actual LCD are indicated on the DTE
screen by asterisks. An asterisk appears below each flashing character. In the example below,
the selected CTS to EIA option is TRUE (and therefore “TRUE” will flash on and off.)
ACTUAL LCD ON CONNECTED MODEM:
DTE DISPLAY:
Asterisks denoting flashing characters will also be displayed if the
D
command is used to request
a display of the LCD, provided the connect command last used was
CONNECT
and not
CON.
Even with the
CON
command is used (meaning that the LCD of the connected modem will not
be automatically displayed), a computer reading data from the diagnostic port will be able to
determine which characters are flashing because bit 7 (MSB) will be set in each flashing
character.
