Once the terminal is connected and configured, you can transfer data between the
terminal and the device that is connected to the serial port. For help transferring files, see
Chapter 5, “Using Custom Applications.”
Configuring the Terminal Via the Serial Port
You can use an application on the host computer to configure the terminal by sending
commands through the serial port. For example, you may want to change the Beep
Volume command and the Display Backlight Timeout command.
To send and receive configuration data, you need to write an application for the host that
can communicate with the terminal through the serial port. You must connect the terminal
to the host by using the communications dock, optical link adapter, serial interface
module, or modem.
Once the terminal is communicating, you can configure it. You must enable Frame mode
and the Configuration Commands Via Serial Port command to configure the terminal
through the serial port. For help, see Chapter 9, “Configuration Command Reference.”
Note: You can continue running an application on the terminal while configuring the
terminal from the host.
To set up the application
• Prepare and write a host application that can send transactions to and receive
transactions from the terminal in this format:
[SOM] [TMF field] Configuration command EOM
where:
[SOM] is the start of message field.
[TMF field] is only used if the Configuration Commands Via Serial
Port are enabled with TMF (Terminal Message Format).
It is a 2-byte field containing one of these values:
CG Configuration Get request sent from the host
application.
Cg Configuration Get response sent from the
terminal to the host.
CS Configuration Set request sent from the host
application.
Cs Configuration Set response sent from the terminal
to the host.
Note: If the Configuration Commands Via Serial Port
are enabled without TMF, leave this field blank.
