Dataport configuration
The system provides two standard RS232 serial ports to allow a computer to be connected for data transfer and
control purposes.
Dataport 1
If you wish to connect a PC to Dataport 1, you must ensure that the PC and the system are identically
configured. The available settings are:
Dataport 1 supports 4 different modes:
Data mode
Provides a transparent data channel. This
channel can be used for many different
purposes such as file transfer, application
sharing and more. When using this mode, it is
necessary to have a TANDBERG system at
the far end.
Control mode
The control interface provided by the Dataport
supports a subset of the Hayes command set
as well as a comprehensive set of system
specific commands.
This mode maintains communication with the Dataport’s command interpreter at all times. All features available
from the hand-held remote control can be accessed through the dataport.
Modem
Allows you to control the system externally via a PC as in Control Mode. Once a call is established, Dataport 1
will automatically switch to Data mode. When the call disconnects, Dataport 1 switches back to Control Mode.
T.120
Provides a data channel supporting the T.120 standard for data communication. Using T.120 software on your PC,
you can communicate with other T.120 systems using your PC and your system.
NOTE W HEN CONNECTING TO A PC THE CONNECTING CABLE MUST BE A STRAIGHT THROUGH RS232 CABLE .
