COAX HOST CONFIGURATION
General Information
This section describes how to configure the ULTRA using a host-connected
terminal. A local copy sent to the ULTRA while in coax host configuration
mode will alter the configuration selections listed in Section 5
Configuration Options. Changes can also be made to the PFSs described in
Section 6 Programmable Function Strings and to the translate tables
described in Section 7 Translate Tables.
Before any configuration changes can be made through the controller coax
port, dip switch B7 must be set in the ON (down) position, and then the
RESET button on the ULTRA front panel must be pressed.
After all configuration changes have been made, set dip switch B7 in the
OFF (up) position and press the RESET button on the ULTRA front panel.
Check that the configuration is correct by pressing the TEST button on the
ULTRA front panel to print out a General Configuration Report.
All configuration option sequences take the following format:
Trigger 1 (the cent sign ¢ is the default) - question mark (?) - option # -
equals sign (=) - valid option parameter selection - terminator (;). No spaces
are allowed in the command sequence.
For example, if Trigger 1 is the default cent sign (¢), the following
sequence will set the number of lines per page (Option #2) to 51:
¢?2=51;
The cent sign (¢) is Trigger 1; the question mark (?) indicates that the
following character sequence is a configuration option command; the
numeral two (2) indicates that the configuration option to be defined is
Option #2; the equals sign (=) is used to separate the option number from
the valid option parameter value; the numeral fifty-one (51) is the value of
the option parameter; and the semicolon (;) is the terminator.
Valid option parameters will be one of the following, depending upon the
option:
A decimal numeric value
A two-character hexadecimal value
The letter value of an option parameter (A- E)
A Y for YES or an N for NO
