CHAPTER 3
PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES
3-5
many remotes are sending data to a common point. The
standard CONNECT (transmission plus ACK) and
DISCONNECT (transmission plus ACK) are eliminated.
This feature will also allow REPORT BY EXCEPTION
(a remote can communicate with a central point even
though it is not being polled or addressed by the central
point).
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
MULTCON (on/off) = On.
Multi-Connect is enabled. Factory default = OFF.
The actual polling of the ESTeem must originate from
the host device connected to the ESTeem by using the
CONNECT command (to originate the initial connect)
and the COMMAND character, to return from the
CONVERSE mode to the COMMAND mode. The first
time around the poll a CONNECT data packet (rf
transmission) will be initiated. When a link is
established it will be remembered internally in the
ESTeem connect table. The next time around the poll to
the same address, the link status will be checked in the
ESTeem table. If the address indicates a link has already
been established, then only data and its corresponding
ACK will be transmitted to that node. This greatly
increases polling time by eliminating the usual
CONNECT/DISCONNECT sequence each time except
when the initial communication is established.
Two other software features have been added to support
the MULTI-CONNECT command; The MULT-ID
command and the MULTDEL command.
The MULTID command allows the user to send data
from the CONVERSE Mode by specifying the address
routing before the data packet. This feature will also
display the address of sending ESTeem on any received
data.
Example Of Transmitted Data:
[001]DATA Routes data to an ESTeem addressed 1.
[100,200,250,1]DATA Routes data to an ESTeem
addressed 1 via ESTeems
addressed 100, 200, and 250.
This replaces using the CONNECT command from the
COMMAND Mode. The brackets [ and ] are defined
using the MULTDELI command.
Received data packets will have the address of the
ESTeem that sent the data at the beginning of the data
packet.
Example Of Received Data:
[004]RECEIVED DATA Data received from an
ESTeem addressed 4.
[030,100,244,004] Data received from an
ESTeem addressed 4 via
ESTeems addressed 30, 100,
and 244.
MULTID (on/off) = On Enables this feature. Factory
default = OFF.
MULTDEL (0-255,0-255)Defines the delimiters used to
bracket the MULTID address
when enabled. Factory default
= 91,93.
REMOTE PROGRAMMING
The Remote Programming feature allows the user to
remotely program ESTeems in his network. When a
connection has been made with the remote ESTeem the
RPG: prompt will be displayed showing that you are now
in the COMMAND mode of that remote ESTeem.
To enable this feature perform the following from the
COMMAND MODE:
PROG (0-254) = Address of destination ESTeem.
Remember, you can also use the Repeater routing
(r1,r2,r3,da) to reach the destination ESTeem.
Note
: r1 = address of first repeater,
r2 = address of second repeater, etc.
da = destination address.
To end remote programming type DISC (Disconnect) and
you will return to the COMMAND prompt of your
ESTeem. There is a Watch Dog Timer that will
