Transmit and Receive On RS-232
Port (#F)
Use the Transmit and Receive On RS-232 Port extended
command to transmit and receive data on the wireless sta-
tion’s RS-232 port. The command uses “#F” characters to
request communication on the port.
When constructing a Transmit and Receive command, the
data to be sent should be placed at Line 2, Column 1. The
data must be less than 1840 bytes in length (after “=yy”
compression). The last character must be a “#” (pound
sign). The wireless station sends the data to the RS-232
port until it detects a “#” character. Due to possible system
fragmentation of a data stream, the “#” in Line 1, Column 2
should be the last character placed on the screen. This will
assure that all data is present before the extended com-
mand is parsed (removed).
