Communications Protocol; Configure - Intermec Janus 2050 User Manual

Communications Protocol

Protocol determines how the JANUS 2050 communicates with the host through
the DTE interface of the selected communications port. A different protocol can
be configured for each communications port. Even if you are using the same
protocol for each port, each communications port must be configured
separately. One advantage of this is that you can have a different protocol
configured and active for each communications port.
Before configuring a protocol, you need to select the communications port to
which it applies with Communications Port, Select (IS). Once the protocol is
configured, you need to activate the protocol.

Configure

Purpose: This command assigns all subsequent protocol configuration changes (for
example, baud rate and data bits) to the selected communications protocol.
Each protocol has a list of parameters that can be configured for that protocol:
Note: Some of the protocol characters for User-Defined cannot be reconfigured if User-
Defined is active. If User-Defined is the active protocol, set the active protocol to None.
Once you are finished configuring User-Defined protocol, then reactivate the protocol.
The following characters are used with IRL and Communications Manager and
are not directly supported by the Intermec protocol handler.
• EOF, EOR, and # of Records per Block
• PAK, BAK, SOP, EOP, RUN, END, and PSS
If you want to configure the JANUS 2050 for User-Defined Multi-Drop
protocol, select User-Defined protocol and then go to the configuration
command "Communications Protocol, Multi-Drop, User-Defined" later in this
chapter.
