Psion Teklogix 8525/8530 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual

Dev Attr

This string entry parameter specifies a device attribute string. This string can be up

to 16 characters long. The computer sends this string to the host when it receives a

DA or DECID control. The example shown in the “Xmit Modes” screen sample on

page 209 is the device attribute sent to a VAX, identifying the Psion Teklogix

vehicle-mount computer as a VT220 terminal. This parameter may or may not be

set, depending on the requirements of the host computer.

Auto-Answer

This string can be up to 30 characters long and is sent by the 8525/8530 as a reply to

an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in

the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to

automatically send the username and password when logging into the host. Refer

to "Macro Control Panel" beginning on page 188 for additional details about

macros.

7 bit

When this parameter is disabled (set to “N”), the vehicle-mount computer transmits

8 bit controls. When enabled (set to “Y”), the vehicle-mount transmits 7 bit controls.

This parameter applies to character mode, block mode, and media copy mode.

Block Mode

All modes in this section affect the data stream sent to the host computer, the serial

port and the console port. These modes apply to the Block mode (Local Editing)

and the Media Copy function, unless otherwise noted. Consult the Teklogix ANSI

Terminal Programmer’s Manual for more information.
