a) Setting the AUX1 and AUX2 Serial Ports
Select the [Configuration]-[Ports]-[Auxiliary Ports]-[Aux] dialog box to
configure each auxiliary serial port:
The following parameters can be set:
- Operating Mode: four modes are available:
- Printer: data flow takes place one way only (from the AX3000 to
the serial peripheral device). However handshaking between the
peripheral and the AX3000 is performed.
- Bi-directional Device: Used to control peripherals such as bar
code readers, touch screens, scales etc
- ASCII to EBCDIC: this mode allows ASCII data received by the
auxiliary port to be converted to EBCDIC (AS/400) format and be
placed in the keyboard buffer. This is useful for connecting PC
based peripherals (scanners, scales etc) to an AS/400 application.
Note: the 'associated service' must be set to 'none' and this port
must be set as the AX3000 default auxiliary port (select the
[Configuration]-[Terminal]-[General] menu).
