data to be entered from the terminal keypad only. The entered data is not displayed on

the terminal. FG and BG are ForeGround and BackGround color, see table above for

key.

InputPassword (deprecated)

Parameters: termID, line, position, prompt, shifted

Function: Provided for backward compatibility. Use InputPasswordColor for new applications

InputSerialColor

Parameters: termID, line, position, prompt,FG,BG

Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position and wait for

data to be received through the terminal serial port. Waiting for serial input can be

bypassed by pressing the enter key on the terminal which will send an empty data string

to the host (fires the OnTermData event handler). FG and BG are ForeGround and

BackGround color, see table above for key.

InputSerial

Parameters: termID, line, position, prompt

Function: Provided for backward compatibility. Use InputSerialColor for new applications

OutputSerial

Parameters: termID, data

Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to send data to the terminal’s serial port. Data must be

less than 232 characters in length for each call to OutputSerial. If you are sending data

to a printer attached to the terminal, make sure to set the Protocol parameter in the 802

RF Terminal to XON/XOFF. See the 802 RF Terminal Manual for details.

Special Considerations:

• After an OutputSerial call is successfully completed, the terminal will return (as

data) a CR (ASCII #13 Carriage Return). This will fire the OnTermData event. If

there is a problem with the serial data you will see an error message at the client

and in the log (if enabled). If the data string is too long, the

OnTermIllegalCommand event will be fired.

• Do not call OutputSerial for the Terminal again until a return code is received.

• Do not call an Inputxxx method for the same Terminal until a return code is

received.

• If you need to send more than 232 characters, send the first part, wait for the

acknowledge (#13) and then send the next part.

• Calls to OutputSerial cannot be combined with other method calls.

SendDisplayColor

Parameters: termID, line, position, prompt, FG, BG

Function: This instructs the ActiveTerminal to display the prompt at line and position. Must be

followed by an "Input" method call to take effect. FG and BG are ForeGround and

BackGround color, see table above for key.
