If you have problems configuring the terminal, check these possible
problems and solutions.
Solution
You must configure a value for EOM before you can set SOM or
disable SOM. You need to change the value of SOM. Choose Serial
Port from the Communications Menu.
The configurable serial protocol (CSP) uses EOM to determine the
serial communications mode. When EOM is disabled, the terminal
communicates in Character mode. When EOM is enabled, the
terminal communicates in Frame mode. To use Frame mode, you
need to set EOM first. Next, configure Handshake, Configuration
Commands Via Serial Port, LRC, SOM, and then Poll.
For help, see "Using Serial Communications on the Terminal" on
page 44.
SOM cannot equal the same value that is set for EOM. You cannot
set SOM to any of these values: AFF (ACK), DLE, NEG (NAK),
Poll, RES (EOT), REQ (ENQ), SEL, XOFF, or XON. You need to
change the value of SOM. Choose Serial Port from the
Communications Menu.
For help, see "Start of Message (SOM)" in Chapter 6 of the 2400
Family system manual.
You cannot set EOM or SOM to any of these values: AFF (ACK),
DLE, NEG (NAK), Poll, RES (EOT), REQ (ENQ), SEL, XOFF, or
XON. You need to change the value of EOM or SOM. Choose
Serial Port from the Communications Menu.
For help, see "End of Message (EOM)" or "Start of Message (SOM)"
in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.
EOM can be one or two ASCII characters, but you cannot set the
first and second character to the same character. Also, you cannot set
EOM to any of these values: AFF (ACK), DLE, NEG (NAK), Poll,
RES (EOT), REQ (ENQ), SEL, XOFF, or XON. You need to
change the value of EOM #1 or #2. Choose Serial Port from the
Communications Menu.
For help, see "End of Message (EOM)" in Chapter 6 of the 2400
Family system manual.
You may have a space in the SOM or EOM field. The space does not
show, but it is a valid character. To clear a space from the field, put
the cursor in the field and press :. Now set the two-character value
for SOM or EOM.
