Operation
The device connected to the Control Port must send ASCII
characters at the same data rate as the RPB+. The unit accepts 8
bits no parity, or 7 bits even or odd parity, but will always
answer back at 8 bits, no parity.
Access the RPB+ Command Mode as described in Section 4,
Step 1. When the "RPB+>" prompt appears, the user may invoke
the following commands.
Notes:
·
Commands are not case sensitive.
·
Wait for the "RPB+>" prompt to appear before
entering commands. The prompt will not re-appear
until the previous command is complete.
·
If an invalid command or parameter is entered, the
RPB+ will respond with the "?" message.
