REMOTE TERMINAL OR COMPUTER REPORTS

A report can be requested using a remote terminal or computer attached to the
reports serial port on the MODEL 2500. A modem can also be attached to the
reports serial port to permit transmission of the report by telephone. A remote
report is initiated by performing the following procedure.
- Simultaneously press Control (^) and B (Shift 6 and B for some
keyboards) on the terminal/computer keyboard
- Enter the communications identification number (COMMID) of the
MODEL 2500 followed by an optional minus (-) sign and the number
of the report desired
- Press the ENTER key
The MODEL 2500 identification number must be three digits in length and the
report number must be four digits in length. Unit numbers with fewer than three
digits, and report numbers with fewer than four digits must have additional zeros
added at the beginning of the number series to make them long enough. For
example, an extra zero must be added to unit number 23 to be transmitted as 023,
and three extra zeros must be added to report number 1 to be transmitted as 0001.
Including the optional minus (-) sign requests a checksum that uses every character
transmitted to generate the report. For example, entering "^B023-0001<LF>" or
"^B023-0001<LF><CR>" is the correct format for requesting report 1 from unit 23,
including the checksum request, which is printed at the end of the report, and can
be used by the computer receiving the report to check for transmission errors. The
line feed command (<LF>) is required if <LF> is not included in the <CR>
command of the computer or terminal.
Requesting report 1 from unit 23 without the checksum is entered as
"^B0230001<LF>" or "^B0230001<LF><CR>". Again, the line feed command
(<LF>) is required if <LF> is not included in the <CR> command of the computer
or terminal.
