3.7.2 GEM Configuration
This Equipment is configurable for operation with most older Host Computers which do not support the GEM message
set, or support an older version of GEM.
• Equipment Constant "CONFIGALARMS" (VID 46) selects the message the Equipment will send for Alarm
Reports. "ConfigAlarms" may be 0, 1, or 2, selection S5F1, S5F71, or S5F73, respectively.
• Equipment Constant "CONFIGCONNECT" (VID 236) selects the message the Equipment will send for Connect
Request. "ConfigConnect" may be 0, 1, or 2, selecting S1F1, S1F65, or S1F13, respectively.
• Equipment Constant "CONFIGEVENTS" (VID 47) selects which message the Equipment will send for Event
Reports. If "ConfigEvents" is 0, the Equipment will send S6F9 for normal (unannotated) event reports or S6F3
for annotated event reports. If "ConfigEvents" is 1, the Equipment will send S6F11 for normal event reports or
S6F13 for annotated event reports.
• Equipment Constant "RPTYPE" (VID 45) selects whether the Equipment will send "normal" event reports (S6F9
or S6F11) or annotated event reports (S6F3 or S6F13).
RpType="False". Equipment will send "normal" event reports.
RpType="True". Equipment will send annotated event reports.
Table 4 Report Set Up.
ConfigEvents = 0 ConfigEvents = 1
RpType = FALSE S6F9 S6F11
RpType = TRUE S6F3 S6F13
• For a non-GEM Host, build appropriate Report Definitions, Links, and Enables (S2F33, S2F35, S2F37) so that
S6F9 or S6F3 event reports contain the desired data. See "How to Configure", below.
• Equipment Constant "WBITS5" (VID 48) selects whether Stream 5 primary message (S5F1, S5F71, and S5F73)
sent by the Equipment will have the W-bit set to "0" or "1".
• Equipment Constant "WBITS6" (VID 49) selects whether Stream 6 primary messages (S6F1, S6F3, S6F9,
S6F11, and S6F13) sent by the Equipment will have the W-bit set to "0" or "1".
• Equipment Constant "WBITS10" (VID 50) selects whether Stream 10 primary message S10F1 sent by the
Equipment will have the W-bit set to "0" or "1".
• Equipment Constant "CONFIGSPOOL" (VID 53) configures whether the Equipment will transition to "Spool
Active" state when a RTY error occurs.
The following table shows the recommended settings for compatibility with various types of Hosts. Factory (Default)
settings are shown in bold.
