when data is received by the RS-232/422/485 port.
Perform the following prior to programming the
ESTeem(s) to initialize the unit to factory default
settings:
1. Turn Bit 2 OFF on the RS-232C Setup Switch.
2. Reset the ESTeem.
3. TYPE FA <Enter>. Please note the characters may
not be echoed by the CRT.

Notes:
• Turn DISACK ON only if you want to defeat the
acknowledge packet.
• xxx and yyy represent an ESTeem address which is
user definable from 1 to 254.
TRANSPARENT AUTO-CONNECT
GLOBAL
This mode is usually used for a point to multi-point
applications when a customers devices include their own
addressing protocol to communicate between devices.
The ESTeem packet addressing and acknowledge
protocol is defeated. All ESTeems will receive the data
transmission. The 32 bit CRC error checking on
received data is still enabled. This program is used in all
ESTeems, the only difference is the unit addresses.
Perform the following prior to programming the
ESTeem(s) to initialize the unit to factory default
settings:
1. Turn Bit 2 OFF on the RS-232C Setup Switch
2. Reset the ESTeem.
