PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES
3-3
variable. The Auto Transmit feature is a timer that is
enabled in the ESTeem that monitors traffic in and out of
the RS-232C port. If there are characters in the RS-232C
buffer, the termination control timer starts from the time
the last receive or transmitted character is updated in the
buffer. If the termination time expires before another
character is received or transmitted, the received
characters are transmitted.
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
TERMC (on/off) = On. Enable termination control.
TERMT (1-255) = One unit number equals 16.67 ms.
(i.e. 60 units equal 1 second).
TERMC stands for termination control. TERMT stands
for termination time. Factory default for TERMC = Off
and TERMT = 10.
AUTO CONNECT
The Auto Connect or Auto Dial Up feature allows the
user to program the ESTeem to perform a CONNECT to
another ESTeem when data is sensed in its’ respective
RS-232C communications port.
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
SETCON (0-255) = Address of destination ESTeem.
NOTE: You can use the Repeater routing (r1,r2,r3,da) to
put the ESTeem in Global (address 255). SETCON
stands for set connect.
SA SAVE command. This is to save the SETC
variable to the non volatile memory so that it
will not be lost when the ESTeem is RESET.
Bit 8 (on/off) = On. Bit 8 is located on the RS-232C
SETUP SWITCH on the rear of the
ESTeem. Remember the ESTeem must
be RESET after the Bit has been
changed to be read by the ESTeem
CPU.
RESET ESTeem RESET is located on the front panel
OFF/ON switch. The T/E light on the
front panel of the ESTeem should now
flash at a twice per second rate.
AUTO DISCONNECT
The Auto Disconnect feature allows the user to program
the ESTeem to automatically disconnect the radio link if
there is no data being received or transmitted through its
respective RS-232C port for the time frame defined by
IDLET (idle port timer).
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
IDLEC (on/off) = On. Enables idle port disconnect.
IDLET (1-255) = One unit number equals one
second if IDLEF = Off. One unit
equals one millisecond if IDLEF =
On.
IDLEF (on/off) = Changes the scale of IDLET above.
IDLEF stands for idle port timer fine control.
Factory default for IDLEC = Off, IDLET = 30, and
IDLEF = Off.
AUTO CALL BACK
The Auto Call Back feature allows the ESTeem to
automatically call back a destination ESTeem if that
ESTeem is connected to another node.
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
RECONN (on/off) = On. Enables reconnect feature.
RECONR (1-255) = One unit number stands for the
number of retries that will be made
if the destination address is
connected to another node.
RECONR stands for reconnect
retry.
RECONT (1-255) = One unit number stands for the
time (in seconds) between retries.
RECONT stands for reconnect
time.
