Select the [Configuration]-[Ports]-[Auxiliary Ports]-[AuxX] dialog box to
configure each auxiliary serial port:
These parameters are:
- 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]-[General]-[Miscellaneous] menu).
- Aux. Command (only for "ASCII to EBCDIC" mode): an ASCII character
string may be sent to the serial device. This is done by pressing the
"Send Aux. Command" keystroke. (AltGr-F2 by default)
Example: requesting a weight data from a scale.
