The TSG-3800 stores these settings in non-volatile memory. The settings remain
until changed or when the SETUP DEFAULT/FACTORY command is issued, see
Checking the Instrument Configuration
, on page 107.
To display the current settings for the selected port, type:
COMM [A|B]
then press
Enter
A typical response from the TSG is:
TSG->COMM
COMM A
Mode: ASCII Time Out: 300
Baud: 9600 Hand: Off Echo: On EOL: CRLF
Operator: TELNET A

Setting the Operating Mode
The two EIA-232 ports can be individually set to one of four different operating
modes:
ASCII – the normal configuration interface
Binary – a proprietary binary interface designed for machine-machine
communications
TL1 – the telecom standard machine-machine language
Passthru – allows the operator to communicate with another device connected to
the EIA-232 port (two sessions allowed through Ethernet)
For a telnet session (up to four concurrent sessions are allowed through Ethernet),
you must have an Ethernet connection; you must first set up the Internet Protocol
settings through an EIA-232 port. Telnet sessions are discussed in
Section B.2.2,
Ethernet Settings
.
To use the Binary mode, you must request the appropriate document giving the
command set and responses, as well as a listing of the supported events. These
documents are available from Symmetricom.
To change the command mode, type:
COMM [A|B] MODE [ASCII|BINARY|TL1|PASSTHRU]
then press
Enter
