Rs-232 Auxiliary Port - Microscan MS-3 User Manual

RS-232 Auxiliary Port

Note: The aux port cannot be used when the host port is set to RS422 or Multidrop.
As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal's settings (baud rate, parity,
stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device.
Usage: These commands set the communication parameters with the auxiliary
port which can be used to configure menus, send data to the host, dis-
play data transmissions originating from the host of the scanner, and
relay data from other scanners set in tandem (daisy chained). If the
scanner's host port needs to be dedicated to the host, but configuration
must be done on the fly, the auxiliary port can be set to accept configura-
tion changes by Command Processing
Definition: An auxiliary port connects the scanner to a remote display or to other
scanners that can display or transfer data.
Aux Port Connections
As with the host port parameters, the auxiliary terminal's settings (baud rate, parity,
stop bits, and data bits) must be identical with those of the auxiliary device.
Baud Rate, Aux Port
Usage: Can be used to transfer data faster or match an auxiliary device.
Definition: The rate at which the scanner and host transfer data back and forth.
