Operating Mode Setting
This parameter determines whether the OIT operates in Interactive, Block, or Network
mode. Refer to Chapter 2: Operating Modes for more information.
Factory Default: Interactive
To modify this parameter using STEPware-100:
1. Open the Configuration Editor.
2. In the OIT Operational Settings group box, select the desired operating mode from
the Operating Mode option buttons.
To modify this parameter in Configuration mode:
1. At Op Mode:, use the OIT’s Period (.) key to select the desired operating mode. Refer
to the Configuration Mode section in this chapter for more information.
To modify this parameter from the host controller:
1. Use the Set Operating Mode control command. Refer to Appendix A: Control
Commands for more information.
Line Terminator Setting
This parameter determines which ASCII control character is used for the line terminator.
Options are CR, LF, CR/LF, or ETX. The line terminator performs different functions in
Interactive, Block, and Network modes. In all three modes, the line terminator is sent to
the host controller when the OIT responds to a control command and when the OIT’s
ENTER key is pressed.
In Interactive mode, if local echo is enabled when the OIT’s ENTER key is pressed, the
line terminator is also sent to the OIT’s display. In Block or Network mode, if block echo
is enabled when the OIT’s ENTER key is pressed, the line terminator is also sent to the
OIT’s display. In Network mode, the line terminator is used to indicate that the host
controller has finished communicating to a particular OIT. The line terminator, therefore,
notifies the other terminals that the next two bytes received from the host controller
indicate which OIT the host controller wants to talk to.
Refer to Chapter 2: Operating Modes for more information on the use of the line
terminator in Interactive, Block, and Network modes.
Factory Default: CR
To modify this parameter using STEPware-100:
1. Open the Configuration Editor.
2. In the OIT Operational Settings group box, select the desired line terminator from the
Line Terminator option buttons.
To modify this parameter in Configuration mode:
1. At Line Term:, use the OIT’s Period (.) key to select the desired line terminator. Refer
to the Configuration Mode section in this chapter for more information.
To modify this parameter from the host controller:
1. Use the Set Line Terminator control command. Refer to Appendix A: Control
Commands for more information.
