MUST be connected or a *PRNTR ERR will be raised preventing loading. See the
installation manual for COM 2 connection information.
Only one port may be defined as a FCM, Print. Or Alibi Log, otherwise, a ‘Port
usage conflict(s)’ message will display upon re-boot.
When a port is configured as GPS, the last three transaction prompts will be
populated with Latitude, Longitude and Site Name Information.
Exiting program mode is required to have the new setting take effect.
It is possible to use 2 host ports at the same time, but the host system should only
talk with one of the two ports at the same time!
