Installations with multiple BAT devices often profit from the automatic execu-
tion of certain configuration tasks. The scripting function in BAT enables en-
tire sets of commands for device configuration to be stored in a single file—
a script—for transfer to one or more devices in one step.
Please observe the following hints when using a terminal program over the
serial interface:
V The models BAT54-F and BAT54-F X2 feature a reduced serial inter-
face (Rx, TX, ground only), hence the hardware handshake has to be
deactivated.
V The BAT54-Rail featurees a fully-fledged serial interface which sup-
ports the hardware handshake of the terminal program.
Caution: If the hardware handshake is not well configured, some char-
acters may get lost while transmitting script or configuration files result-
ing in a damaged device configuration.
In contrast, the firmware upload will work even with wrong configured
hardware handshake, because the X-Modem protocol ensures a se-
cure data transmission.
