Initiating a Direct Diagnostics Session
The procedure described in Table 27 below describes how to set up
the required *D record in an Omni 3200 terminal's CONFIG.SYS file
and to initiate a direct remote diagnostics or debugging session from
the terminal. The procedure assumes that the required software
program is running on the diagnostic or debugging computer, and that
the serial cable connection has been established as described above.
Note: When you exit System Mode, control of the terminal is
surrendered to the diagnostic or debugging computer. The terminal
application cannot execute until you manually remove the *D record.
Press [7] to select the keyed file editor.
Press [FUNC/ENTER] to enter the *D record in the
CONFIG.SYS file.
Enter [*] [3] [ALPHA] and press [FUNC/ENTER] to
view the current variable stored under the *D search
key.
The terminal displays the *D= key as (empty). Press
[BACKSPACE] to erase the (empty) prompt.
To select the terminal's RS232 port (COM1) at 19200
baud, type [0] [2] [ALPHA] [0] [6] [FUNC/ENTER].
Press [CLEAR] to store the *D variable you entered.
NOTE: The *D value of '0A06' is an example only,
and is not a required value.
Press [CLEAR] again to exit the keyed file editor.
Press [CLEAR]. The terminal restarts and begins its
communication session with the diagnostic computer.
During this time, the System Prompt is displayed.
NOTE: Once started, the diagnostic session cannot be
stopped from the terminal side. When the session ends,
the host computer returns control to the terminal and
the application restarts automatically.
