USER INTERFACE

There are two methods to select a serial I/O port (e.g., V74, V75, etc). You can either

send a port selection sequence which consists of an (1) ASCII character string or send (2)

the Attention Character five times (default ;;;;;) to invoke a port selection menu.

IMPORTANT: If the ASCII String Method is used to select an I/O

port(V74/V75), the ASCII String Method must be used for port disconnection.

If the Menu mode or attention character method is used to select the port, the

Menu mode or attention character method must be used for port disconnection.

MENU MODE/ATTENTION CHARACTER METHOD

The menu mode/attention character method of operation is the default mode of

operation for port selection.

After the Menu Mode/Attention Character method of operation has been selected, the

V72 Ethernet module users can select a serial I/O module port(e.g., V74, V75, etc.) by

invoking a port selection menu. The port selection menu is invoked by sending the

Attention Character (default ;;;;;) to the V72 host module five times followed by a one

second delay. The V72 will respond with a menu similar to the following, if two serial

I/O modules are installed in the base unit:
