Problems While Configuring the Terminal (continued)
Problem
You scan a configuration command, such as
Keypad Caps Lock, and nothing happens.
You are configuring the serial port and see
this error message when exiting the
Configuration Menu:
PG command failed.
Configuration was not
updated.
You scan or enter an option for the Scanner
Selection configuration command and you
hear three low beeps.
You are scanning a configuration command
to set one of the serial port parameters and
hear three low beeps. For example, you are
trying to set EOM or SOM.

Solution
There are two possible solutions:
•
You may have one or more reader commands disabled, such as
Change Configuration, so that you cannot change the
configuration. Enable all of the reader commands and try again.
•
The terminal may be waiting for another command to complete
the configuration change. If you started by scanning the Enter
Accumulate command, you must finish the command by
scanning the Exit Accumulate command. For help, see Chapter 6,
"Configuration Command Reference," in the 2400 Family system
manual.
Scan the Enable Override to temporarily enable all of the reader
commands. When you are finished, remember to disable the override
so that your data is not interpreted as a command.

PG is the Handshake configuration command. You need to change
the value of Handshake or set other serial port parameters. Choose
Serial Port from the Communications Menu.
The order in which you set serial port protocol configuration
commands is important. To use Frame mode, you need to set EOM
first. Next, configure Handshake, LRC, SOM, and then Poll. To use
Character mode, you need to disable these same parameters in reverse
order.
For help, see "Using Serial Communications on the Terminal" on
page 44.
You may have scanned or entered a Scanner Selection command that
does not apply to the type of scanner that you have installed. Try
scanning or entering the Scanner Selection command again and
select an option for the type of module you have installed.
The order in which you scan serial port protocol configuration
commands is important. 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. To use Character mode, you need to disable these
same parameters in reverse order.
For help, see "Using Serial Communications on the Terminal" on
page 44.
