Rs-232 Auxiliary Port - Microscan MS-9 User Manual

RS-232 Auxiliary Port

Note: The aux port cannot be used when the host port is set to RS-422 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.
These commands set the communication parameters with the auxiliary
Usage:
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).
An auxiliary port connects the scanner to a remote display or to other
Definition:
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
Can be used to transfer data faster or match an auxiliary device.
Usage:
The rate at which the scanner and host transfer data back and forth.
Definition:

Serial Cmd:
ID status,daisy chain ID>
Default: 9600
1 = 1200
Options:
2 = 2400
3 = 4800
Parity, Aux Port
Only changed if necessary to match host setting.
Usage:
Definition: An error detection routine in which one data bit in each character is set to
1 or 0 so that the total number of 1 bits in the data field is even or odd.
Default: Even
